Today we crossed our first African border into Uganda. No big deal, really. Fingerprints and some simple forms to fill out. Money changing. Our East African Tourist visa cost $100/pp and lets us cross borders between Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda as much as we want for a few months. Very organized and friendly!
Photo dump ya’ll!
Mirror selfie to kick off the day 
Gas stop in Kisumu, Kenya 
First sighting of Lake Victoria, just a small inlet 
Protected bike lanes FTW! Nice job Kisumu.

Jeff was not happy that the life vests were required on our boat tour 
Just some shoreline along Lake Victoria. A Great Lake. 
Sign reads “The Source of the Nile, Jinja, World’s Longest River”
It’s the point where the current starts to flow out of Lake Victoria
On the Nile, proper 
New bridge in Kericho across the Nile 
Some bird. Ask Carmen and Troy. 
More birds. 
More birds. Cormorants? 
An ugly bird that everyone seems to hate around here. Scavenger.

Bedtime!
