Rainy season

Rainy season does not mean it rains constantly, but it seems to mean that you need a great portion of good luck to reach your destinations although the sun is shining! Ponds of water appear as you hurdle up and down the roads (or more correctly: beside the roads) Many people seem to consider watery inaccessible roads as an extra source for income and they line up next to the ponds waiting for the next car to get stuck in the mud. And thank God they do! They push and pull the cars through the water and carry the people on their back. No doubt we would still be stuck there if it wasn’t for the 10 people helping us out when we stranded on a rock in the middle of a pond. The pictures are from the road between Mbita and Kisumu when Marte (Mari’s mother), Lise, (her friend), Mari and I had to leave the car to get assistance.
