I was lucky to spend 2 whole days doing nothing much on the banks of the White Nile.  After driving hard to Rwanda and back, a couple days off was welcome.  Jinja is near the source of the Nile and a great place to spend Christmas.  I would highly recommend it to people interested in rafting.  I didn't go but wish that I would have.  It looked like a ton of fun.  I'll have to come back someday.

We had a pig on a spit and a gift exchange on Christmas.  It wasn't the same without the snow.

After Jinja we headed to Sipi Falls.  We spent the night there and I had the opportunity to go on a hike to see the falls.  Lonely Planet calls them the most "romantic" falls in Uganda.  I don't know about that.  They were beautiful though.
