In Kenya, we travelled alongside the Rift Valley. Good scenery at 8000ft. Crossed the equator and arrived at Eldoret and a bar that looked like it should be in the Flintstones. Crossed the border into Uganda where the drivers and roads are as crazy as in Kenya and Tanzania - a bit of a white knuckle ride sometimes, watching from the top of the truck.
Arrived in Jinja where the others did rafting. The campsite and bar overlook the Nile which starts here at Lake Victoria. A few of us signed up for the 10km run on Sunday. Took a while to find the registration place but every local we met was really helpful and friendly. Anyway, when we got up at 5am for the run it had been and still was raining so we piked out. Feel a bit bad about not doing it but it was a miserable morning. Went back to bed. Then of course the sun came out. Oh well. Also in Jinja we had a great Indian curry. Its a lovely town, except for the security guards with rifles outside the banks, supermarkets and walking around the campsite!
Now in Kampala. Those going on to Ethiopia are having trouble getting their visas. Glad i dont have to worry about that. Got to watch Engand beat Japan and few other games too. Heading further west in Uganda tomorrow.
