There's a good chance that my body has some parasites now. It's not that I have any symptoms of the disease itself, but rather as a result of probably swallowing quite a bit of Nile water while learning how to kayak today.
Spent an extra day in Jinja today, seeing as how it's a place that offers so many activities that it'd simply be wrong to only stay there for a single day. But, a conundrum: too muddy for mountain biking, too much of a wimp for bungee jumping, never been big on horseback riding... what to do?
Lucky for me, I got to know this kayaker there, who was so nice as to offer to give me a private lesson in basic kayaking. Loads of fun, I tell you. Scary at first, but when I finally got into the trusting mindset that was needed, it was one heck of a learning experience.
Plus, the very notion that I was learning to kayak in the Nile just blew my mind away.
Sounds familiar :)
ReplyDeleteLearning scuba diving in Lake Malawi will definitely give you some schistosomiasis.. anyways worth the rush right ;)
:) I'll say yes for now, but _might_ change my mind once I get symptoms :P
