My friend Nina made me lunch at her place in Kerarapon.
To get to Kerarapon, you have to take a matatu, and then a tuk tuk on a VERY bumpy road. The drive is exhausting. On the way back, she persuaded me to take a motorbike (pikipiki) instead of a tuk tuk, since they are faster and less bumpy. I was scared at first, but it was glorious. Kerarapon is picturesque... the scenery is that classic Kenyan savannah with acacia trees and livestock and maroon dirt roads. The highlight of the ride was when we encountered a herd of cattle walking toward us, taking up the whole road. They parted slightly and we zipped right through the middle of them.
Let's see if I'll still be talking this glowingly of motorbikes once they are my main mode of transportation in Masindi.
