Hell's Gate etc

This weekend Lindor, Mike and I took a matatu to Hell's Gate National Park. We stayed at Crayfish camp, it was okay... they were VERY slow to do everything, like give us our room, call a cab... typical africa. I miss efficiency. Anyway, we rented mountain bikes to bike through the national park, which I am in no shape to do. It was really cool because we biked with zebras and warthogs (Pumba) and its beautiful there. We climbed down into the gorge and walked along it (not as easy as it sounds) Lindor got drenched by a hot spring ahahahahha, and I ALMOST fell, but I managed to get my balance. The bike back to the park entrance was what killed me lol. It was soo hot, and I was so thirsty, and there was like all these hills. I almost died. But anyway, we made it, and I will never bike that far again. My ass still hurts, and my back hurts too.

Today I realized that I leave on Tuesday, not Monday, now I need to make plans for that weekend. Maybe I'll see what meghan is up to! I could go back to Uganda for the weekend.. but that's expensive, maybe i'll just hang around here, but our new roommates are GRUMPY! I miss our orig crew, they've all went home. They are like really hardcore volunteers, like "i'm going to save the world, there's no fun allowed in africa" so when linn and I sleep in and show up late to volunteering, and stumble in drunk or take long weekend, they give us shit. they suck.
Oh well, 7 DAYS UNTIL SWEDEN! <3
