Day 6 - Rutana to Ruyigi

Day 3 of cycling started with breakfast and then driving down the lane from our hotel back to the main road. We were in the pick-up so left slightly later than the others. When we got to the main road, we set off trying to catch the others up!

We met them at Kibiye hospital, which was 20k up the road. There we met some American families that had come to Burundi to work as doctors and train new ones as in 2013 when they came there was only 300 doctors in the country. The hospital was amazing, the facilities they had and the service they provide is incredible, especially in such a rural hospital.

We then carried on, a further 50k on an undulating that is only 5 years old so was very smooth! The scenery as always was amazing, cycling through the hills and trees, seeing rice, coffee and bananas being grown all around.

We arrived to the hotel, had a shower (this time cold), had the usual incredible chips as a snack and headed out for a walk around the town! We went to this amazing project with a library, playground and teaching rooms for the children. We then carried on walking around the town, always accompanied by at least 20 children!

Back for dinner and now bed before a much bigger day of cycling tomorrow!

“Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.””
