Rafting was fun, but since I’d spent some talking to the
kayakers at Nile River Explorers and after seeing the ridiculous tricks that
the guys in the safety kayaks could do I was interested in giving it a go.
Mountain Club of Uganda have a special deal with Kayak the Nile and offer a
beginners lesson for a decent discount once a month. I was keen to give it a
go, but sadly had to cancel as I had malaria.
Well I might have had malaria. I had most of the symptoms,
but I was expecting malaria to feel worse than I was. It felt like a very bad
cold, not even as bad as flu as I could manage to get to the kitchen and cook.
Still I spent a day in bed and resolved to head to a surgery the next day if I
was no better. Thankfully the rest worked, I was still pretty rough, but on the
mend.
Since I’d eaten the meagre amount of food I had in my flat
in the first few days of my recovery, I needed to do some shopping, but since I
couldn’t manage to walk to the nearest supermarket I hopped on a boda and
headed for Shoprite in Lugogo. With a rucksack full of provisions I thought I’d
treat myself to some lunch at the nearby Good African Coffee Company where I’d
had an underwhelming burger previously.
Perusing the menu looking for something suitable for my
still not quite right stomach I went for my room service mainstay of a club
sandwich. It came with chips. The club sandwich was a proper one, three pieces
of toast, chicken, bacon and cheese as well as salad and mayo. This one didn’t
have egg. Sadly my illness got the better of me and I could only manage a few
chips and a quarter of the sandwich. I got a doggy bag though and finished it
off later. The chicken was anaemic, bacon was fine not too much fat, cheese was
bland and the bread was of the too sweet variety. One of the worst club
sandwiches I’ve ever had, made worse by my being sick. 1.5 out of 5.
