I promised I'd do more travel blogs a while back, and here is my second installment.
For this second instalment, I want to talk about my first time visiting Siaya. This is famed as the land of the heroes, and by that I mean a lot of famous people are believed to have been born and lived here. Odero Akang'o, Lwanda Magere (I think), Raila Odinga, Arwings Kodhek...?
And it is also the county that hosts Ng'iya, Lwak, Maranda, Rang'ala and one other school that goes Ch and is in Raried but I can't remember (which is funny because I went there numerous times heehee).
So let us get on with it.

As you may have picked up from some of my hints in the other blogs, I got a few jobs after my internship. I worked as a hotel manager then became an intern again before deciding to go back home.
During my first visit to Siaya, I was so excited and started google-mapping the town. I wanted to live right next to the lake, but that would not be possible. Siaya was over twenty kilometres from Lake Victoria.
I arrived at 8.00 am in the morning and didn't think that my luggage would explode right at the gate of the office. I immediately headed to Ugenya Sub county for my first task of the day.
As I spent more time in Siaya, I came to the conclusion that the region had a higher temperature than my hometown. Siaya town had a peculiar weather phenomenon: the air would just sit and the heat would press down on people.
Visiting Siaya would require one to use sunscreen.
The other thing was that the fringes of the county next to the lake had great breezes. While working, I visited little villages next to the azure inland sea. I'll probably do a good update on that.
I think the only sub counties that were landlocked were Gem, Ugunja and Ugenya. Funny thing is how these three sub counties have some of the biggest rivers in Western Kenya flowing through them.
I need to end this here. I will make another update on this. Have a lovely time.
