BANANA BOAT RIDE.........(TeArS!!!!!)

So i like adventure and adventures love me, we were heading to the central past of Kenya exactly to Sagana River for BUNGEE JUMPING. We got there photo moments first thing as usual, then the guide gave us instructions the DO'S and DONT'S and safety measures and the price lists. We are ready  for the jump HAKUNA MATATA. SO we had to wait for the guys we found there to jump first. the first guy around 22yrs-25yrs buckled up everything ready he was set and ready ,he had this smile and anxiety on his face, and he jumped HOLY SHIT!!!!!! what i saw...why did he jump...GHAI!
(that story for another day)

It was a Friday,we made our way to wetlands, precisely lunar park for just one ride THE BANANA RIDE


( habahaba). after trying to locate lunar park for like 3 hrs ,,, en getting lost due to poor directions, enyewe Kenyans do not know how give directions... At a  point we asked a guy who was making chairs from makuti at peponi road where lunar park is and he said take right and walk straight kumbe he had as asking where Karuna courts were. seriously  was he high or something how can lunar park and Karuna courts rhythm. Operation kutembea continued  till we got to lunar park. kufika nayo!!!. we are like where are the swings "BUDA BOSS" he is like they moved to Pangani . This are the kind of faces we all had
  


 What the F***k..... after  walking for like 4 hrs then no rides sisi hao hadi pangani. we are in a mission to ride that banana,  nothing and no one would stop us.
we got to pangani the new location for lunar park , made our way to the management office and paid for our ticket 100bob . cant wait to ride that ndizi. just the three of us are gone ride that whole 12 seater ndizi. YAAAAY. Happy faces before the ride.
The attendant  came and he is like have a seat place of your choice what a first class treatment we are having, we got on the banana thingy he is like madam you cant ride with your hand bag and told judie and ben to remove their cell phones they cant ride with them , am like whats your problem so i got off i  gave my handbag plus our cell phones to the management office . Mimi huyo kweyu ndizi.

The guy switching the gears came and strapped us  in and made sure the metal bars were well hooked in place. LAITI!!! Judy and i aint getting well hooked and he says with his eyes  hold on to the metal bars tightly.

Everything is ready  the guy stands  there near the gears and starts switching the banana thingy starts swaying am like yaaay. 
.GHAFLA BIN VUU!!! We hear the gears....changing, and changing, and changing again!!! And the thingy starts going faster and faster!!! . Especially when it goes high to one side then starts going back down and you feel like your intestines liver, colon, heart and the brain  tying a knot in your tummy. 

KUBAFF.... WE WENT FOR  360 DEGREE ROUND 1. then we went up again.....  now turned upside down AND PAUSED. we started screaming things like ..... "We'll pay you. Please stop", We didnt pay for this!"

HOLY SHIT..... I was sliding off my chair HOLY MOTHER OF GOD COME DOWN , my right shoe CAME OFF moment of reckoning  am finished i  could now clearly see the gates to heaven , and i have not repented my sins yet.
Judy was quite hands covering her face may be she was praying or in disbelief .. life was flashing before our faces . we went down and the guy kept switching the gears fast and  another 360 degree around atleast for now we were down Mr. Ben 10 was the one hanging like a bat upside down...... hihihihi i was laughing . Then the 360 degree one last time again Huh! life was beautiful  we were slowing down.
After those five  minutes of pain and horror and shock and regret and wailing and all that screaming, we got off, three of us feeling like throwing up, and we had to w seated on the benches as our intestines and all internal organs readjusted!. as the attendant finds my shoe. 
 This couple who were pointing at us and laughing while we were riding came and asked us how was it. me: " it was fun , its like having lunch with your man in the middle of Indian Ocean". the lady was like baby lets just go for the swings. 
Good decision my lady you wont feel like crap like us but atleast us we got something to tell our grand kids. 

before i forget my shoe came back without a sole.....
