Adventures in Uganda

More pictures! From my weekend trip to Jinja! In Uganda! White water rafting! In the Nile! Am I adequately expressing my enthusiasm?!?!

This is Bujagali Falls, just outside town, near where I stayed for the weekend:

You can go rafting or kayaking down waterfalls and rapids, but some locals go down just holding onto a jerrican! CRAZY! 

 This swing overlooks the Nile just below. These kids were so adorable!

Sign by the road that I don't quite comprehend.. 

Hands down the best breakfast burrito I have ever had in my life. It's called a "rolex" and is a chapati wrap (instead of tortilla) filled with egg, meat, avocado, onion, and cabbage. AMAZING.

And FINALLY, pictures from grade-5 white water rafting!

This was one of my favorite rapids, a waterfall called 'Overtime':

(To help direct your laughter, I'm the middle person on the right side of the raft, wearing the red cap under my helmet. As you can see, I am clutching the rope for dear life.) 

What just happened? I blacked out for a second. 

Some nice, calm pictures:

 

 Another favorite rapid, called 'Vengeance':

We lost a lot of people overboard, but this is the one time we actually tipped over... not ideal since I don't know how to swim... but thank God for life jackets!

I'm the red helmet on the left. I managed to hang onto the raft the entire time but almost got sucked under the raft, which would have induced massive panic. I was okay though!

Those are the highlights. I'm going to try kayaking the rapids next, so more good times to come. Stay tuned!
