In Jinja now (Uganda) and getting ready to go to the Maasi Mara. Claudia is now mostly recovered. She did revolt one more time and decide that she just didn’t want to go into grears anymore. Lucy and Jase were able to fix the problem pretty quick but still we had a 15 hour day between. She just got her big overhaul so should be find for our next trek to the Maasai Mara tomorrow morning. Hopefully we are getting all this out of the way now and she will be in good shape for the rest of my trip.
Rafted the Nile yesterday – AMAZING!!!!! Huge water but ever so fun. I think the guide’s goal is to flip us as many times as they can, although our guide only managed once. It was a great day. Water was warm, sun was out, people were great and the rapids were soooo very much fun. Just massive. Another big bonus was all that dirt that was still stuck in my toenails (don’t think I have ever needed to clean under my toenails before) washed right out as I got tumbled through the rapids. I think my clothes even got a better cleaning in the river than they had in the buckets and soap we have been using. Showers in our camp are cold but have a great view out over the Nile. They only have three walls so open up completely and look through the trees to the river. Absolutely gorgeous. Tonight we will all relax at the camp and have a BBQ and most likely a few more beers. I think I have settled on Nile Special as my favorite. Seems to have a little more taste than the others.
The photo is out of the bar area in our camp ground and that is the nile behind me.
