Hiking Sipi Falls
We took a trip about an hour east of Soroti to do some hiking. We went to visit Sipi Falls.
First stop, lunch! We ate some beans and chapati at the Mise Cave Restaurant.
This is the first real tourist thing I've done since arriving and it was very interesting to see the difference in this area from Soroti, which has no tourism at all. Every where we went we were asked for money. Everyplace that could have a gate and an entrance fee, had one. When we returned, someone had washed the car and asked for money.
The falls themselves and the hike was very nice, though I am so out of shape that the hike up was not quite as pleasent as the hike down. I don't think I'm quite ready to climb Mt Kilimanjaro yet.
The trail as we began the hike, we hiked to the bottom of the falls, about a half hour down (and about 45 minutes up).
and the view when we reached the falls:
Today...I rest

Dear Carl
Yesterday my family visited me. I show them your pictures. They were all impressed about the nature and landscape. I am looking forward to seeing it with my own eyes. Thank you for the pictures.
Take care
