V Bday

Today, we were finishing off the drive to arrive at Lake Victoria. When we arrived, it was a roller-coaster of emotion. We pulled up to a beautiful shore, with an amazing looking bar on one side and a beautifully modern building on the other. We figured either way we are in for good accommodation tonight. We were gutted when Joe informed us that instead of utilising either building, we would be camping in the car park on the hard cement. This was a devastating feeling. It was Victoria's birthday, and I felt obliged to ensure she didn't have to sleep in such conditions, so we investigated the option to upgrade in the bar next door. In the end, it wasn't too expensive and so bought an upgrade to ensure we could have some drinks, a sleep in, and avoid having to pack up tents and all the rest. The room was easily the nicest stay of the whole tour so far, and the value was quite good, so no complaints. In the end, it was a good option as we could spend a good amount of time at the bar celebrating her birthday and easily retire to the bedroom to sleep. The night was a lot of fun. We drank, played pool, and watched the Champions League late into the night. We had a late start tomorrow, so the stars aligned to ensure that we could properly celebrate.Read more
