Day in Kigali

The day for Kigali started with an early departure from Musanze at 6:15am with Greg and Andy. Our "To Do" was quite long and included a 50/50 chance of a planned meeting with someone there.

We started off at ORTPN to sort out some gorilla permits for people and a fairly good outcome. This seemed to be a good omen for the rest of the day as we continued to tick off the tasks for the day, eventually all of them except the meeting. So overall a very productive day with some late afternoon showers to cool us all down. There hadn't really been time to sit down for meals or anything so all of just grabs snacks and/or coffee and sodas when we got the chance.

Getting back to Musanze, Andy and I went to pick up the BBQ we had ordered from the metal workshops. Turns out everything finished on time and the added bonus of the owner having made a few improving tweaks to the final design. I'm very happy with the final product and looking forward now to a nice large BBQ. We'll be planning a "little" BBQ ceremony when putting it into use.
