jinja, uganda.

i just arrived in kampala a few hours ago, but i had a great 36 hours in jinja, a few hours east of here. the city is at the start of the nile, as it comes out of lake victoria. uganda has been a nice change from kenya, it's so green!

i'm staying at a friend's apartment in kampala, but will be moving around a lot in the next 10 days. i'll spend a few days east in iganga, a few days north in lira, and a day an hour west of kampala.

today i went for a killer mountain bike ride. it was just me and my guide alex. i told him to push me, and he did! a few photos below.

remember to always bike with appropriate gear. 
alex's favorite food item is a 'rolex,' a rolled chapati with egg, cabbage and chiles. the chapati man in the village we stopped in didn't know how to make a rolex, so alex showed him. 
class 5-6 rapids along the nile.
