From Biharamulo we were straight on our way to Rwanda, Kigali.
The border crossing at the Rusumo falls was painless. We were immediately struck by the friendliness of the Rwandan border officials. Tanzania was a tough country. It is huge and everyone is poor and battling to make a living.
We were immediately struck by the lush vegetation. Lots of bananas and you name it. The country just looks fertile and abundance of food.
The houses have beautiful gardens and everything is just ‘growing’.
Colorful houses en route to Kigali.
Neat houses.
Lush vegetation.
Finally, Kigali. Everyone is greeting and waving and very friendly.
I got up at 5 this morning to do these damn travel blogs. We will find an Internet café this morning so that I can upload them to HambaCairo.com
We went for something to eat last night in town and walked the few block there and back from our hotel. We felt very safe and it is hard to imagine that country was devastated during the genocide in 1994.
We will visit the memorials today and then tomorrow, Friday, on to the gorillas.
The next travel blog update will prbably only be when we are in Kampala in a weeks time or so.
