Kololo
The hotel may not have been the best, but the structure of its floors was fascinating. So was the food. After all, this is where I fell for the Ugandan pineapples! I adored the swimming pool and the view over Kampala, beautiful both at sunset and at sunrise! #waterlust P.S. Memories from Uganda and thoughts on its wonderful people
