We had a later start today for the trip to Nyungwe Forest, with breakfast scheduled for 7.30am... but I've had my eye on a nearby cache, so this morning was our opportunity to attempt it. It is onlyRead more
Enjoying all your amazing photos - thanks for sharing your adventures. Missed you the last few days so glad to see you are both well.
Thanks! There was no interweb in Akegera, but there was very good phone reception - the drivers were chatting on their phones in the middle of the national park 200km from any decent size town - that's better than we get!!

We're in Rwanda! Kigali to be exact! We treated ourselves - I'm writing this blog while laying in bed, eating my first chocolate bar since I've arrived, and drinking from our mini wine bottle. SimpleRead more
Rwanda already... I guess I missed that part of your travel plans... You didn't stay in Uganda very long at all? Have fun! Dad xo
Apparently our really long and confusing walk from our first day arriving in Kigali was not enough to teach us a lesson. We started off our first morning here thinking we could walk to the KigaliRead more
What an experience!! So interesting to read you :) And by the way, Denis wrote the previous comment, but I supposed you've guessed it!!
I don't think I fully understood the concept or extent of what had happened during the Kigali Genocide even after going to the memorial and being given all the information I am unable to fullyRead more
