Day 5 - Matana to Rutana

An easier cycling day than yesterday . We left at 8am through Matana on beautiful undulating roads. The first stop was the source of the Nile! - you may have heard that the the source is in Uganda or Rwanda but apparently it is actually in Burundi and to prove it a pyramid is build the that emulates the ones in Egypt! Next stop was some hot springs nearby - great for sore legs! Then we got back to riding - the highlight being a 10km downhill section through the the valley really stunning!

After a bumpy van drive down a long dirt track to our hotel we are greeted to a beautiful hotel with hot showers and WiFi! A very needed snack of chips with chorizo was made and then we hopped back in the pickup and made our way to the waterfalls!

We were shown to each one by a guide, each unbelievably beautiful! When we saw the biggest one Simon turns to me and says “do we get in? It’s the most powerful water we’d feel” to which I reply “yes!”. So in we got and the feeling under the waterfall was incredible, we were screaming and shouting out of pure excitement but could barely hear each other!

Back for dinner, a campfire and now to bed!

“Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have gone over me.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭42‬:‭7‬ ‭ESV‬‬
