Yesterday morning we said our goodbyes to the Serengeti and headed for Wasso. It was raining, and the road were all washed out (but as Olias says, “no problem for Land Rover!”) It was just like trying to drive in a snowstorm- cars sliding off the road and getting stuck in the mud. The supply car also kept breaking down. It took us hours, but we made it safe and sound once again!
Quotes from Driver Olias:
“Jesus! I am lost!” (In the Serengeti as it is getting dark)
“Hold on. We’re going to jump!”
“Don’t worry, this is easy for Land Rover.”
We spent the nigh in Wasso at a guest house with sporadic water and electricity. We were in triple rooms, which means there is one queen size bed! We are all really getting to know each other! Today we drove the rest of the way to Lake Natron. It is really hot here, but Baba Jack led us to an amazing waterfall this afternoon. It was a beautiful hike along the cliffs and through the river. We paid a couple of Maasai boys to help us out. The rocks are slippery, and I have a pretty big bruise on my butt now! The water was the perfect temperature for swimming under the waterfall.
Tomorrow we are off on our Maasai homestay. I’m kinda nervous, but I know it will be a great experience in the end…I hope!
