Last night we’d met up with some travelers who’d been to Uganda, so after hearing about what they’d done we decided to modify our Ugandan itinerary slightly. Originally we were going to use Uganda as a transit country as well, stopping only in Kampala, but we’ve now decided to stop off for at least a day to also check out Jinja, which is where the source of the Nile is, and also a prime white water rafting destination.
We caught the taxi into town, bought our bus tickets for Jinja, wandered the streets of Nairobi for a while (only had to endure one scam attempt – "Hello, I saw you at my hotel this morning", laughable when we had stayed at a backpackers and the only locals were staff. We expected many more based on what it said in the Lonely Planet!), and then headed back to catch up on washing and shopping. Traffic was pretty bad once again, we’d already heard there was a petrol shortage (only diesel available now) – so why were there so many cars on the road?
