My guide woke me up at 7:00 in the morning, and we had a breakfast of cold antelope meat and bottled water from my pack. It took us an hour to pack up all of the camp supplies and load them in the jeep. From there, he drove me to my next location in Ukunda, Kenya.
I arrived at Funzi Island for a safari day trip later than I would have preferred, but I found the experience to be worth any inconvenience. For only $195, I was given a boat, all the seafood I could eat, and a chance to see all types of wildlife (www.julius-safaris.com). I paddled down the Ramisi River, and I saw hundreds of crocodiles and a plethora of brightly colored birds. Afterwards, I ate grilled scallops and tilipia fresh off the grill.
At 6:00 pm, I hired a local to drive me to the Emin Pasha Hotel in Uganda. It was an extremely long drive. I found myself gazing up at the stars that dotted the African sky. I fell asleep thinking about how Hemingway once looked upon the same stars.
