Alright, well I'll first start with the bicycle tour. Which, by the way, was absolutely amazing. I love going for bike rides anyway but I had the chance to go through a village right across Lake Victoria. Kampala is loud and, well, city like. Sometimes you just need different scenery. I wish I knew the name of the area that we biked through but I don't. I know that we biked up to Ggaba Beach and then took a local boat across the lake.
When we landed on the other side.
A picture of the adorable kids that I ended up playing a game with. The girls aren't pictured but there were two of them. I'd turn my head and the girls would creep, ever so slowly, toward me. Then I'd turn my head quickly and they would run off giggling. This happened several times but they put a huge smile on my face.
Next, on the blog agenda is, the trip to Jinja. Which was absolutely incredible! Jinja is completely different from Kampala. (Well, I mean it sort of is the same but only in the sense of shops.) Jinja is just slower and less crowded. When I was there I went horseback riding and rafting, for the first time ever. The Nile River is host to class 4 and 5 rapids, which is thrilling and terrifying all at the same time. My first flip and I was a little panicked but I made it.
First rapid! Oh which, we of course, flipped. But as you can see, there are kayaks there to help you if you go to far from the boat. Which I ended up having to utilize.
Our Uganda tour guide, Nathan, abandoning the raft on the last rapid. I think he left on purpose, what do you think?
The last thing I'll talk about if Murchison Falls. Another amazing safari trip and the second one that I've taken in Uganda. Unfortunately, I lost my camera to the depths of the river though. It's the Nile, I believe, but it's late so I don't exactly remember. I should confirm that though.
Two giraffes, one of which is stuck in a wire that was put there by poachers. We, of course, saved the giraffe.
Of course, the highlight was seeing elephants.
Well, I should go eat dinner now. Thanks for reading! And good night from Uganda.
