Our house in Arua
We had been told that our house was close to the golf course. Therefore we are driving around a couple of times trying to locate it. We cannot find it because the ones we see are either too fancy or too deteriorated. We ring Drake the logistics man from the MS Office. He is saying that it is the one we think is looking very fancy. This one. 
Yes it looks very fancy and surely it is big enough, but when you start to look at the quality, then you realise where you are. All the wood work is done in mahogany, but many of the doors can not close and a lot of the mosquitoframes are so bent that even if you close them, then the mosquitoes can easily pass in the gaps etc. etc.

- The kitchen which is one of the smalest rooms in the house.
- The bedroom with a sheet as curtain and the boxes that needs unpacking.
- The sitting room.
- The top veranda

Arriving in Uganda
We land in Entebbe airport and are collected by Paul, the driver from MS. We are installed at the guest house in Kampala and stay there for 10 days before we drive North to Arua where our new home is going to be.
Here we cross the Nile in Merchinsons National Park. Our car is a Nissan Hardbody. Very sturdy and good on dirt roads. The trip to Arua took 10 hours.

Leaving Moeldrup in Denmark
I have signed a contract of two years to work in Uganda for MS - Danish Association for international Cooperation. I am going to work with two Regional Anti Corruption Coalitions in West Nile and Bunyoro. My husband Alan will join me right away, but my dog Bibi has to stay with my son and daughter in law in Viborg until we have settled in Uganda.
