24 May: Bird watching at 6 AM.
Another early start on my day off, followed by another journey on the back of the E-merge truck. We took out a wooden boat with a little engine and had a bird/animal guide give us a kind of water safari around Lake Victoria. Seeing the Hippos was very impressive and I got much closer to one than I did in 2007! This time the boat was much more sturdy so I felt more safe, the sheer size of them never ceases to amaze me.
Bart was having a whale of a time, he went crazy looking at all the different birds and knowing their names, as well as fussing over his new camera which was very funny. Every day we have moments where Bart says or does something and I stare back at him with a face that pretty much says "what the feck are you chatting about", its so funny and we both know it happens.
Being on the calm water in such lovely weather was great but bird watching is definitely not for me. You can just head down to Trafalgar square with some bread and see just as many birds he he he. Plus it felt a little colonial being Mzungus (white people) taken around the water by a Kenyan. Between Steve Erwin & David Attenborough Impressions I couldn’t help putting on a posh voice and saying "golly gosh look at that local chap". A nice morning but not my thing.
