Friday morning I was up early and eventually off to Kigali International Airport like a shot - Sarah was arriving for a short visit. Having picked her up, we went to one of the nice charcuteries in Kigali and got some sausage for a BBQ the evening. The BBQ was our frst proper meal on the new BBQ that had been made for us - mmm!! Lovely sausage and ugali (maize meal).
We couldn't plan anything for Saturday morning as it was Umuganda. This happens the last Saturday of each month and is a national event where everyone goes out and does some work in their community i.e. cleaning up the streets, sidewalks or whatever the community projects may be. During this time, all shops are closed and nobody drives around. Around midday we went for a stroll around our immediate area of Musanze including some parts that I hadn't yet been through - not that I remember anyway.
Lunch was at Hotel Muhabura with Greg and his little daughter and catching with whats been happening. We also decided that our first "entertaining" would be on Sunday afternoon with Greg and his daughter as our guests.
Sunday late lunch turned out to be kebabs and baked potatoes etc. The skewers had to be made in town but was done in just over an hour and only cost us about 15pence each - they did look very professional though. The kebabs (brochettes) were massive with meat we had bought at the local market butcher and some tomatoes, onions and peppers. Everything was of course done on or in the coals. mmmmmm again!
