A Nice Evening for Travel

This evening we will be traveling to Kisumu via EasyCoach (like the Greyhound). We are to leave from town at 2130 and arrive in Kisumu around 10am. Then we will go from Kisumu to Lwanda. The ferry to Mfangano Island leaves at 1300. If we miss it, we have to wait until the next day. I think the drive from Kisumu to Lwanda is about 2 hours. Then the boat ride from Mbita to Mfangano is about 1.5 hours to cross (apparently if you take a speedboat it takes 5 minutes! I'm sure there is a considerable cost adjustment for this).

We have to travel to Kisumu at night because if we travel in the morning we will miss the ferry. We'll be staying in Mfangano Saturday night and then likely go to Mbita on Sunday evening. Medical clinics start Monday.

Departed from town at 2145. Arrived in Nakuru at 12am. The road was fabulous! Nice and smooth.

Our journey continues in the next entry because technically it's a new day...
