I went for a really lovely 4 hour wander today.
Picked a direction and walked moja kwa moja (straight)…and somehow I ended up in the city centre.
Passed by a nice quiet beach. The washed up beach garbage is always interesting. Talked to a few policemen who invited me to have some soda. Politely declined because my Swahili just isn’t good enough. Annoying! So many interesting sights in this city. Sunday is a quiet day.
Texted roommate many times about which dala dala (city bus) to take. Thank goodness she’s an expert on dala dalas.
But still missed my stop so I ended up at an awesome-looking local market (Mwenge). Will definitely go back.
Took quite a few photos of stuff I saw along the way.
My Swahili can surprisingly handle quite a bit of greeting.
The buses (dala dala) here have student prices! Wonder if they did in Kampala. Mwanafunzi (student): 100 Tsh (Normal is 250 Tsh)
Had a really nice chat in the afternoon with room mate, about everything and anything.
Previous intern is leaving tomorrow. Last dinner tonight at the Badminton Club (Indian food). Sad.
