Quiet weekend

The weekend was quiet yet productive and pleasant. The Saturday morning at 10am we had a meeting with a candidate for the site engineer's position and discussed the planned construction processes and durations. The meeting had just finished when we got a call from an overland truck asking for help on finding accommodation in Musanze.

On getting there I discovered its one of my good mates from the road. After getting the clients all settled in at a little guesthouse in town, we settled down for a bit of catchup over a few drinks. He had two new crew with him so agreed to take them out on Sunday morning to the site and show them around. We managed to get Greg to come with too as he hadn't been at the site since October 2004 when we found the site the first time.

Sunday morning thus was a bit of a walk around the site and showing what and where everything will be as we've set it out then spent some time up in the north on a nice little rock lounge chatting about the site.

As the new crew hadn't been around Musanze much, I took them on a little drive to Ntaruka at the northern end of Lake Ruhondo where the Hydro plant is. It was a pleasant surprise driving down the road as it had been done over and was an absolute pleasure driving on. With good light the views over the lake were also fantastic. Unfortunately didn't take photos this time but there will definitely be a photo session out there in the very near future.
