10/11: Thomson’s falls

Today we are finally going to Thomson’s falls, we planned to go last weekend, but my sickness got in the way and the others were nice enough to wait. We met and bought some lunch before trying to find the right matatu. It was more difficult than you would think, a lot of hassle and lies later we were finally on the right matatu leaving Nakuru for Nyahururu the town closest to the falls. There was also a lot of problems there with people who wanted to guide us and things like that. We got rid of them though and found out way there. It was really beautiful, but no where near as clean as I am used to from Iceland. We went all the way down to the bottom of the falls. It was a bit difficult for some because it was very steep. At the bottom it felt like it was raining because there was so much mist coming from the fall. It was nice, but not for long after the novelty had gone we were really just standing there getting really wet. With me were Sara, Camilla, Katarina, Ea and a German girl I don’t remember the name of. We then had lunch and returned to the matatu stand to get a ride back again. After we returned to Nakuru we went straight home as most of us were tired. It had been a really fun day to spend with the other volunteers and I doubt that I will have much time for another because next weekend I am going to Nairobi to meet the girls that I went to Zanzibar with (expect Sofie who went home) and the weekend after that, my last weekend, my dad is coming! We will go to Hell’s Gate together before he continues to Kampala to work.
