Don't know how, but these things just happen. Twice in 2 days, I've managed to get other people pushing my bike up steep hills. In my defense, it wasn't my idea this time. I was approaching Masaka from the Rakai District side. Much to my surprise (I think I've only ever approached Masaka from this side in a car before, so I never noticed), there is a big huge whopping HILL on this approach! I surprised even myself by actually peddling up half that hill. But then I stopped and started pushing. Only pushed a few minutes before these 3 nice secondary student girls came along.
One of the girls said to me (I SWEAR, it was not my idea!), "Give us the bike. We
will push." Well, what could I do? She was ordering me!! So, here is a photo of my girl friends, pushing the bike up that hill. You can't tell from this photo, but the hill really was steep - really!Had a really fun night, playing pool in the two pubs, across the road from the White Nile Inn, where I stayed. Can't believe it! Made it to Masaka. Wow, this is getting more and more exciting! So close to home.
