Josphat works at Maseno University, near Kisumu. He has a house on the university campus there, as well as at Kitale, the town where the Aquinoe Learning Centre is located.
We’ve stayed at the Kisumu house before but it’s drawback is that it has no running water. Josphat is slightly annoyed at this as the students don’t have this problem!
Tina and I had therefore been booked in to a room for two nights at “The Club” just a few minutes away.
We walked locally in the morning and took photos at the Equator marker, while Josphat gave some lectures.
The afternoon saw us in Kisumu, the second city of Kenya, doing some shopping and then eating at one of the many restaurants on the shores of Lake Victoria.
Tilapia is the local delicacy, cooked beautifully with a variety of vegetables and served with ugali - the maize-flour staple of much of southern and eastern Africa.
We also managed to acquire wifi access and a SIM for my phone thanks to the assistance of a very helpful guy in Safaricom by the name of Baraka.
Pity I can't get on to a browser!
