Welcome to Jinja, Uganda, Home to the Source of the Nile River. Where you can pay $110 Dollars to dang near die in the Nile River itself. You dont even have to sign a waver. You just hop your little butt in a raft, strap on a helmet, pretend like you know how to use a paddle and you're well on your way. They will even feed you the best lunch you have eaten in months before you hit the class 5 rapids that will make you poop your pants and steal your life, all in the same minute.
So what if you have fallen out everytime your guide Jimmy yells to get down in the boat. And so what if you dont have enough upper body strength to pull your newly discovered world traveler rice and beans booty back into the boat. Jimmy and fellow rafters who can barely stand becasue they are laughing at the profanities that left your mouth as you were in fact leaving the boat will drag you along the side and up into boat sometime before the next rapid only to repeat said process over and over again.
Congratulations you made it to the end of the trip equipt with 3rd degree burns on the thighs, only to be handed a curious meat stick, a greasy potatoes wrapped in foil, a beverage and what should have been warning signs for river parasites and a mean case of dysentery!!
