Dear John.

Having lived at the Kenyan coast for 2 years, especially in Lamu, I advise you to bring a girl along.

It's a muslim place with basically just one bar and the few working girls around are not really wort mentioning compared to Mombasa.

If you need any further info, let me know.

Thanks for the photos and the suggestion, I have now changed room and it's a hundred times better. Air con works really well and the room also looks 10 years new. Absolutely exhausted, all I have done since I got here is fuck my Brian's out. I have 2, 19 year olds that want to meet me tomorrow, will try and get some photos for my trip report.

Yes, maybe you can be the next major contributor here! Uktraveler is sorely missed! Here's another Afrointro chick.

I stayed at the Speke for the first 3 nights I was in KLA (many years ago of course). Pretty basic accommodations for $140 in my view and I shifted to the JBK for the duration of my trip. For $100 less a night, the JBK is more than acceptable. I did, and still do hang out at the Speke occasionally when I'm staying in town, but I'd never stay there again. Not even on an expense acct.

Was going thru some old files and ran across a few pics that I took at the Speke back then. No awards on photography, but if you've never been there and are considering it, at least this gives you some idea of what $140 gets you. Note that just outside the window (pic 4) and to the right (barely visible) is the infamous Rock Gardens. This is the convenience part of the equation if you fancy the girls there...

As an occasional visitor to Uganda, I found interesting the following story of Kampala authorities checking lodges for sex worker activity:

Is this something you resident mongers are aware of?

I got a balcony room also and it was not just the hotel music, there seemed to be some construction going on as well.

Having a really good time here, meet a few woman from afro, and so far bar one they all looked like there photos. One I even offered some cab fare but she turned me down. Will write a proper trip report and hopefully throw in a few photos when I get back.

I have never been to Bubbles I am only going by what other BM have said about the place.

Although I like to be proven wrong about such places, I read that's its most hardcore working girls which is not my thing.

Staying at the Hotel inter tropics at the moment, but I 'am changing tomorrow to the JBK. I found the staff friendly and the rooms look newly built, but there is no AC and no fans, no safety deposit box and it's very noisey.

Hope to catch up with you for a drink sometime.

You may be a bit disappointed with JBK as it is much noiser in that section than where Hotel Inter Tropics is located. It is true that on the weekends, the bar downstairs plays music into the night, but during the weekday, it is very quiet. I happened to have a room that had a balcony, so I was able to open my side window and get a nice breeze. I exercised the entire time while in Kampala and the only times I found the room to be hot was when I had just returned from my runs and within an hour of workout completion. Otherwise, lack of A / C or fan did not pose a problem, though I realize some people go into overheat mode without those amenities. I think Holiday Express was a bit more quiet than JBK, but if you want real quiet and close location to Rock Garden, Speke Hotel is the place you should seek out. Otherwise, it is $200 plus per night at Sheraton or Serena. If you want to be right near the action in Kabalagala, there are a few places there that would fit the bill.

Pic is worth a thousand words; for the unitiated (moi) looks like a fine place to take a date, but not to be treated like king of kampala. Thanks for posting Coal B

Hi, I will be in kampala next week for the next 2 weeks working on a donor project. There will be alot of routine travel into the field. Where would be the best place to get a massage in Kampala with all the extras.

These pics represent a typical weekend night at Bubbles. Note the [CodeWord140] poor M:F ratio (even worse inside) and who you'll be competing against for the very little female attention available.

For those who really know Kampala, this place isn't even in the discussion.
