Normally, by the time morning has broken in Kosti, the sun is already shining brightly and more than happy to provide you with the first drops of sweat of the day. So to start the day as refreshing as possible, Frank woke up before sunrise and took his kayak (which was hand-made in Khartoum) to the Nile and drifted off. While the sun couldn't wait to show her face, the birds sang their most beautiful songs to celebrate the start of a new day. This part of the Nile is crocodile-free (at least that's what we assume, since we have never seen one!) and also the dangerous hippos are nowhere to be seen. So absolutely nothing stood in the way of enjoying this peaceful paddle-safari and eventually returning home just after the morning had broken..
