Detour: All the lies in the world won't get you a tour of the brewery, thus, re-route to horseback riding along the Nile.


Lessons Learned (some the hard way)

Church is the one thing in Africa that starts on time, so don't be late.
If your driver has some incentive to get home, he will turn on the hazard lights and drive in the right lane, forcing oncoming traffic to use the shoulder.
Horseback riding along the banks of the Nile is a must-do (however proper clothing is a must).
Horses will try herd monkeys if given the chance.
Riding a horse and riding a bike are not synonymous.
Riding a horse pre-puberty is very different from riding one post-puberty. For people of both genders.
Mutatu rides break down all social barriers.
It is relatively easy to get into a secondary school, multinational non-profit organization and hospital, however, very hard, nay impossible, to get a tour of a brewery. (interesting prioritizing, Uganda)
Great Danes are in fact bigger than humans.
Wearing Vibram five-finger shoes causes us to stand out even more, as though our skin wasn't enough.
