Sept 15 -16 - Rafting the Nile


Spent 2 days rafting the Nile with the 3 other US vets who came.  It was fun, exciting, challenging and at times a little heart throbbing!  The surface of the Nile ranged from flat and smooth to grade 5 heart pounding rapids. The weather ranged from 80F and sunny to driving wind and rain and so cold some of us could not stop shaking.  The solution was to get out of the boat and swim along in the water as Nile water was warmer than the air!  Never thought you could be cold in equatorial Africa!  We will post some photos.  We spent the night at a small, rustic ‘resort’ on an island in the middle of the Nile.  That was really cool.  At the end of the second day we spent 2 ½ hours on the bus ride back to Kampala.
