Julia and I woke up early (5:20 am) in order to catch the early matatu from Kakamega National Forest to Kisumu. During the ride from Kakamega town to Kisumu I chose to sit in the front row with my bag... that was a mistake. The front row has a raised floor because of the motor. The ride was very uncomfortable to say the least. We arrived in Kisumu after an hour and a half much to my legs delight . From there we checked into the "Sooper Guesthouse," which had adequote rooms (about similar to any cheap hostel). Julia and I then headed out to start surveying the hardware scene in Kisumu. To our delight, we found our local vendor was located 3 doors down from our hostel! Ater a quick visit to the hardware store we unsuccessfully tried to contact the Lake Victoria Water Services Board, but we did speak with three other government organizations with names very similar to the LVWSB, leading to some confusion on my part as to what department did what.
