Kigali Again

Monday morning Greg and I set off to Kigali for what we anticipated to be one day at least but with the possibility of an overnight. Not an early morning but a pleasant drive (as always with the scenery) and some good chatting along the way.

Part of the reason for going to Kigali was to for Greg to apply for a visa for the UK for the World Travel Market in November in London. We managed to get that sorted and got the appointment for the next day for biometrics at the British Embassy (also in Kigali).

A lovely lunch at Hotel des Mille Collines followed and a fairly relaxing afternoon next to the pool meeting our lawyer etc. The evening at the hotel there were some traditional dancing and drumming of which I got some good video footage which I can use as inserts and soundtrack in the making of the video I'm busy with.

The next morning after coffee we finished the biometrics and returned to Ruhengeri and more moderate weather - Kigali was blazing. Getting back pretty much just entailed on catching up with Andy what had happened on Monday at the site and on outstanding admin.

Andy and the lads had gone to the site on Monday and cleared around the marker pegs so they're more prominent and cutting some of the 1.5m grass a little bit shorter in the marked areas.
