What better way to celebrate Easter than to head to the hills! Not any old hills....these are the Rwenzoris, otherwise known as Mountains of the Moon. Bordering with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the main peaks even boast permanent snow and glaciers, requiring ice axes and crampons to achieve the summits. Hard to believe when it's 30-something degrees celsius down in the town.

Anders and I left the summits for another time, but had a fantastic two days hiking through some the steep terrain.

| A well deserved lunch, with some kids in the background hoping to join in |
It was pretty amazing hiking past the small houses scattered over the hills with their crops outside. Others also had to hike like us to reach their crops, sometimes hours away from their house.
