First, remember last year when I bragged about not getting tossed into the Nile. Well, this year the Nile kicked my butt. We had 8 people on our boat, and ended up with 17 people in the drink. I got tossed two times, including a massive spill where onlookers said our raft looked like a popcorn maker, with all of us being tossed in the air separately. The first spill, I think Trish P. who was four rows behind me on the raft, sailed above me to exit the boat over my head. Everyone is fine, but I am still a little banged up. One of the raft guides was an Aussie, and when he heard me tell someone about my trip said from the comfort of the outhouse, "The river has a soul and remembers, and she is a woman."
Much better today, I worked hard to get a good seat on Emirates, I also purposely got a big Cubs fan next to me, what was I thinking.
We stopped at Garden City to exchange money, I had nothing left to buy, so I wandered up to Casino Simba. I think I was the only one there, the table games were all locked up, so I sat down to play at a 16-player electronic roulette table with real ball and wheel. There was no place to put money in so an attendant came over and took my 50000/= shilling bill. I figured, worse case, that is a hard bill to break so if I lost 20000/= or 3000/= at least I had change. I lost a lot of my credits early when I wanted to bet 5 credits on black and mistakenly put 50 credits, but soon I hit 3 straight numbers and walked out of the Casino Simba with 250000/=..... you will have to look that up to see how much I won.....
Tomorrow morning, we go to Chimp Island, and then begin the journey home......
Can't wait to see you all,
John
