The plan was to go to Uganda for the rafting this past weekend, but another volunteer who wanted to come with us, Manal from the US, had forgotten her passport so we couldn't leave the country. SO instead we headed to Mombassa!!! Ahhh it was paradise...we took the long bus to get there, then a series of matatus, finally arriving at our resort/hotel late at night. The weather was beautiful, the beaches were soft, and the rooms were huge! Hey we also went wind surfing!!
It was the perfect weekend to follow that horrible Thursday and Friday—and no sunburn this time!!
When Manal and I got back to Nairobi (Grace stayed for an extra day at the beach) at 6am after taking the overnight 8 hour bus from Mombassa to Nairobi, we went straight to Ngong Town and climbed Ngong Hills to see the grave of the guy in Out of Africa. I've never seen the movie, but she promised that once I watch it I'll really appreciate having gone...and the scenery was fantastic!
We parted in Nairobi, Manal went to the airport for home, and I took a matatu home to Nakuru. It wasn't the weekend we had in mind, but it was fantastic!!
