Hitching a ride

Hitching a ride

Nick took this picture on our journey from Kisoro to the Birara community while we were in south west Uganda documenting and recording the music of the Batwa.  It’s about 35kms by road, most of which is uphill, following the winding road through the stunning, lush countryside.  This guy was lucky enough to have a bike and took advantage of the passing lorry.  Most people seemed to be on foot and many of the Batwa make the arduous journey to town three times a week, without being able to hitch a ride.
