Hello everyone – Stuart here… We’ve been to the source of the Nile today! Intrepid explorers as ever – though plenty of people have been there before us, including Speke, the guy who discovered that the Nile starts at Lake Victoria. We saw the obelisk where he stood and had his eureka moment, and we went across on a boat to the islands in the middle of the river where an under-river spring feeds the water of the lake and starts the flow towards the Medit...
