The night bus from Nairobi to Kampala
Uganda was a nice one. We rode Modern Coast and it had super comfy seats that
were pretty clean. It also had working personal lights and air vents. In
addition, it didn’t stop to pick up random people along the way. The night was
long (8 hours) and I had a hard time sleeping mainly because it was so bumpy,
but I did manage to drift off just before we arrived.
Upon arrival in Uganda, we had our one
African rip-off (cause there is one on every trip) The bus pulled into the stop
and we got out. We then bargained a taxi to take us to The New Annex Hotel. He
originally asked for 20,000 ugandan shillings but we bargained him down to
10,000. So we hop in the car and he proceeds to make a wide loop involving
three left turns. I found this fishy, but in my dead tired state I didn’t
really think it over too much. Once we woke out of our travel comas and
ventured out of the hotel in search of food, we realized that the bus stop was
literally two shops over from out hotel. The cab driver had just driven us in a
big circle and then pocketed the money.
