On its long way to the Mediterranean, the Nile is pushed through a narrow opening in the rocks, forming the spectacular Murchison waterfalls.
The next day, we took a river cruise up the Nile, towards Murchison Falls. We departed under a sunny sky with bright sunshine coming down on us, and enjoyed the ride from the roof of the boat. After a while the sky turned white, grey, until it assumed a distinctly black colour. And then, almost without a warning, it started to pour down, a violent rain lashing out on the roof of our boat. We hurried down, and closed the sides of the boat. Visibility was down to at most some 50 metres, and the boat had difficulty negotiating not only the strong current of the Nile, but also the wind that had started blowing against us. When we finally reached the point from which Murchison Falls were visible, the rain had abated, and we were able to move up to the roof again. While the boat was rubbing its nose against a rock in the middle of the turbulent waters of the river Nile, we saw the downpour of water further upstream. And then, after initiating our way back to the pier, the skies cleared above us.
