We Do Have Some Pictures From White Water Rafting The Nile!

      We were fortunate enough to have some really awsome people on our boat when we went white water rafting and they provided us with photos from our trip. I will let the pictures do the talking for the most part, but do know that we spent a day white water rafting down the Nile river in Uganda. We went through a lot of class 4 and 5 rapids and had a ball. 
We tipped over in the rapids quite a bit, which was quite exciting. You can see Chelsea hanging on in the middle and myself toward the front, our guide is the one flying over the top.
There are quite a lot of fisher men on the nile, they drop a line and wait in their little dugout canoes. I thought this picture was classic.
This was one of the first rapids, It wasn't very big but it almost tossed Chelsea out of the boat. You can see her sitting on me in an effort to remain out of the crocodile filled water.
Just about the drop into a rapid.
Us getting tossed.
After our first roll. We were all pretty disorientated, you can see Chelsea and myself off to the right of the boat looking for it. 
Classic flip, Chelsea and I holding on for dear life.
Our boat with our Israeli rowing crew, they were great, we all had a great time. We were fed a lunch of fresh pineapples. 

There was a big waterfall after this rapid that for some reason we did not flip on.
