well earned days off

Today we have visited Uganda's National Mosque, The Gaddafi Mosque. Interesting history told to us by our guide. The foundations were laid by Idi Amin who never completed it.
Later money was provided by Colonel Gaddafi as a gift to Uganda and the mosque was finally completed in 2006. it covers 12 acres and is made of reinforced concrete
