2017-01-13: We took a bit of a drive out of the way to buy some honey from the Rwenzori Mountains. The stand was not far from Fort Portal, but for some reason, the driver thought it was not much out of the way to take the southern route back to Entebbe. About an hour into the trip, he realized the mistake adding three hours to our return trip. Maybe he just wanted to eat at the Mbabara buffet...
