I did not have my camera with me - only my mobile which is far from new. I took a couple of pictures but the built-in camera is not among the best on this phone (a QTEC 9100). It is only a 1.3 MPixel camera and the optics are not really top-class. So apologies for the qualities of the pictures.
So when we later went through Bwaise, this is how it looked (video recorded with the QTEK):
Going through Bwaise is not always a good idea when it rains, but we got through without any real problems.
We have had a very dry spell throughout December and the first half of January. We had to buy water to fill up our tanks, because the water supply is not always stable and we were low on all three rain water tanks as well as the tap water tank. Saturday and Sunday last weekend (January 17th-18th) were really hot so the rain came as a real surprise.
No complaints though because it cooled down the city and replenished our rain water tanks. And there was no dust going through Bwaise :-)
And to top it off; Monday evening I climbed up to the tap water tank and discovered that it was low again. We were thinking seriously about getting another water truck to fill our tanks again. But sometime during Tuesday or perhaps sometime during the night the tap water flowed again. So when I climbed to check Tuesday evening - when we returned from work - the tank was full. What a releaf.
