jinja

On Saturday, we drove a couple hours out of Kampala to Jinja.


Jinja is where the source of the Nile river is – pretty cool, right? I always just thought about the Nile being in Egypt.

When we first arrived in Jinja, we went to see this beautiful river with its white water rapids – a majestic sight. There were people rafting, kayaking and a few locals getting tourists to pay them to go down the rapids solo.

After seeing the rapids, we headed to a hotel in the area for lunch. Groups of us had little private cabana-type coverings as we sat and ate lunch overlooking the Nile – pretty spectacular.

After a relaxing lunch, wishing we could all jump into the outdoor pool at the hotel, we headed to the exact source of the Nile – the place where Lake Victoria dumps into the Nile.

We took 2 big canoe-looking boats and toured around, making sure to document our adventure.

We got back in the bus (we have grown very used to spending a lot of time on the bus) and started our now 2.5 hour trip back to the guest house.

Sunday – we’re off to Watoto Church South. There are a few different locations – South is a small one I’m told by the Senior Pastor’s wife, Martha – only 1000 or so. Can’t wait…
