We left home early Monday morning in four busses, two heading for Kakamega rainforest, two for Kisumu. I slept almost all of the 8 hours to Kisumu except for the pauses I took to sing along with the rest in the singing game lead by one of the teachers riding in our buss. Lunch was a picnic brought from school, which we had at the tea hotel in Kericho where we also stayed the last night of our field study week.
Around 4 o’clock we arrived at New Victoria Hotel in Kisumu where we got to walk around in the city before it was time for dinner with the whole gang of SP students. During our little stroll we got to try two new transportation methods that they have here in Kenya, but more about those later.
About the hotel: it is Muslim owned, ugly but cozy, and the first thing that greeted Lisa and I in our bathroom was a cockroach. I’m starting to get used to those iffy little things. The best thing about the hotel was that it was close to one of Kisumu’s huge mosques, a perfect location if you want to hear them call to prayer at 5 o’clock in the morning.
