Kisumu

After 354kms and 9 hours in a bus we finally arrived at Kisumu in the dark. The landscape was so different to anything we have seen in either Uganda or Zambia. We transferred from the bus to a taxi, seating was for 15 people, but to make more money they packed us, 21 of us crammed in with all our backpacks!

The Seka family assured us we would be ok at the motel in the valley on the way to Luanda, their family village, not too certain about this we got in the taxi and after 30minutes travel the taxi stopped, it was pitch dark (no street lights here)we were told to hop out, walk down this side road and through the gate to the Rock Resort Motel. Talk about having to trust someone that speaks very little English!

Anyway to our amazement, The Rock Resort Motel was ok, not the Hilton, but comfortable with showers and flush toilets, although most of the time power was off, so cold showers!

Anyway we were so thankful to be out of the bus and slept quite well.
