Rafting the Nile

I had a decision to make yesterday morning.  Bungee jump into the Nile, or raft its rapids.  I would have liked to have done both, but funds are limited and I figured I can bungee jump a lot of different places.  So I decided to hit the rapids!  It was one of the best thrill moments of my life.  Actually, a few of them.  We were on the river from 11AM to 5PM.  All in all we hit three classV rapids, six class IV, and two class III's.  There was a class VI, but the rafting company only takes kyaks down that stretch.  I also picked up a video with highlights from the trip and I'll post some of my favorite clips when I get back on Sunday. 
 
Today we hit up a few of the tourist destinations, mainly focued around Speke, the man who "discovered" the source of White Nile.  I put discovered in quotatuions because, really, it was when Europeans discovered it.  I also got some good footage of an African dance/music troupe that I'll post when I get back.
