Uganda - last update

We came from sunny hot Uganda to chilly cold Slovakia. It was quite big shock for us. We arrived to Vienna at Sunday evening after 26 hours of traveling. We were looking forward to go home, to rest a bit and eat good food but after one day we miss Uganda so much!
From our last update from Uganda water didn’t change and was quite small but good for club wave. After paddling two times a day for weeks we went to Bujagali to spend some time in Eden rock resort in big banda. We enjoyed beds, shower, toilets, power and for most the really good food instead of starving in Hairy lemon. We have run day one couple of times. Silverback is really a big fun but I made it every time upside down.

After five days we went back to Hairy lemon good relaxed and ready to continue our training plan.

In that time there were about 20 kayakers and waiting in eddy became longer and longer. Especially when Peter could stay there 10 minutes. Club wave is good for training. There is enough foam to stay tricks there. It is not easy to get in air like in Nile special. It is more technique wave but easier for landing.

Once we went to try a new wave which is on left side from Malalu wave. We called it Malalulu which mean in Slovak small lulu. We went there by water which took one 50 minutes paddling on flat water. The wave is not very big but it is quite fast and technics.

For way back we ordered boda-bodas but it was like way to the hell. The local boda-bodas are not skilled going with kayaks like bodas in Bujagali. I was so scarred! We almost felt 2 times. On the end of our stay in Uganda we were so tired that we could hardly go kayak two times a day. Sometimes we needed to go to Jinja for steak and made a day off. We came to home totally physically destroyed but mentally absolutely relaxed.


Now we are at home and waiting for the options to paddle in Europe.
See you
