Amidst the buzzing of boda-bodas& the heavily laden hawkers, weaving between dawdling cows, goats& pot holes, there are small havens for the vain on the streets of Kampala. Hair-braiding, shoe-shining, manicures and pedicures are all on offer– just about everywhere in fact. On Saturday morning, Marlies, Elena& I decided to splash out with 1,000 shillings (about 30p)& give our toes some treatment. Everything started out well– our feet were cleaned with an old toothbrush& the polish of our choice was applied… that is, until the chap decided to get creative. Step forward, 30 sparkly& luminous toes; add some wind swept dust& you have quite the speckled effect. Just as well we had late night dancing on the agenda!
