Borda Borda Ride

Our ride home from Nandos on Friday night was a little adventurous. 

Once we'd selected our Borda Borda driver, based purely on observation - we chose him not the other way around - we negotiated our fare. Given that we were travelling from the city centre to Kissasi, I thought 12,000 shillings was quite reasonable. 

En route our rider asked us to hop off as we had a flat tyre - to be more precise, he kept saying 'pressure' while pointing to the wheel. He hailed down another Borda Borda driver and we re-negotiated our fare - 10,000 for the first driver and 5,000 for the second driver. 

Interestingly and probably due to the shorter seat on the second bike, Dale's level of comfort was compromised - Dale sat on the back!  Having said that, we both really enjoyed the exhilaration of being on both bikes.
