A few minutes later, I arrived at Prestige Hotel Suites, paid for my transportation and headed to the grand entrance of the hotel.
The door opened and there appeared one of the hotel staff. His uniform revealed his doorman position. He humbly gestured me in.
"Welcome to Prestige Hotel, may I hold your backpack." He uttered.
A beautiful, light skinned lady hauled herself upright at the Reception desk, a few feet from where I stood and invited me to come closer.
It was a quarter to 10 o'clock in the morning, Ms. Jane had already signed in 5 new clients and she would go on to check me in, happily departing with my US $ 85, approximately UGX 320,000.
Mr. George, the calm and collected doorman carried my luggage and led the way to my gorgeous abode. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, I had the executive suite all to myself.
It was such an experience; coming from a humble background, such a life was always out of reach, prompting me to work so hard to make a saving so as to experience that life of the Haves.
For 8 months, I worked really hard at whatever I could lay my hands on; at the start of March 2018, when the rainy season rolled in, I managed to cultivate soya bean on 3 acres of land.
Masindi, my home district being of a country side setup, with the largest chunk of land being cultivatable, played to my favour.
During the 3 months of soya beans' maturation, I took up a part time job at Heaven carpentry shop, where we turned wood into some of the best wood works in the district which earned some more cash.
The harvest was blessed and the market was equally exceptional. By mid June that year, I had saved up enough from those 2 ventures to realize my dream.
The almighty indeed was good to me, my safe travel to the Capital of Uganda, Kampala, and the successful acquisition of a 3 star executive suite at Prestige Hotel Suite, located in the city center between the French and Danish Embassies with clean and spacious accommodations.
The single occupant suite was minimally decorated with modern furniture as they had advertised, had air conditioning and above all, it had the best view of City and Pool area from the Balcony.
The spectacular lodging rejuvenated me, relieved my early morning travel stress and tension.
By the time I was through with a cold shower and freshening up, my room service request of a vegetarian breakfast was awaiting.
A table of plates full of eggs, spinach, mushrooms, home fries, beans, avocado, tomatoes and pancakes. A glass of cool mango juice, my favorite and another of coffee.
Having stuffed myself on a yummy breakfast, I turned my attention to the treasures Kampala harbored...
