Lake Bunyonyi - Part II

Also celebrating Martin's birthday today. He's a Ugandan friend of Beth's.

Walked around the lake for a while with beautiful views. When the road got too muddy, it rained a lot yesterday, we took a boat to reach the way up one of the viewpoints.

Finally some cute animals!

After less than 8 hours on the lake, I already feel as relaxed after a two week holiday. It's really quiet and there are no other tourists around. Just ordered some curry and already on my first Nile Premium for the day. Prost!

Musanze/ Volcano National Park - Ja, genau, Vulkane!

Muraho! (Hello!) Last Friday was another fine day to travel across winding roads to the North. This time however, not to leave the country, but to visit our (Laura's and mine) friend Beth. Eternally thankful for anti-puking pastiles (not the ones Fred and George came up with), because this country is really so mountanous. Consequentually, the roads go up and down. Luckily, the speed limit is 60km/h (Conservative German politicians, look at that!). There were many many road fatalities in Rwanda and thus the government decided to do something about it. Next to the speed limit, they are also educating the population on other measures of road safety, as I read, for example by going to church meetings, to reach a wide number of people (next to usual media outlets of course). Another law: Helmets are mandatory on motorbikes (boda-bodas in Swahili). Me, my helmet and I. I am getting more adventurous with taking photos on the boda-boda for sure. In the long distance buses,...

Corona update II

Status: 5 cases in Rwanda Got a little worried on Monday that I wouldn't be able to leave. Status: 7 cases in Rwanda Got more worried on Tuesday, when I went to all the flight agencies to maybe catch a flight out that same night. All these worries because of the EU closing and there not being any flights. So went to the German embassy and right in the entrance I see that we got an email from uni asking us to fly home as soon as possible. Check with the embassy, and they say the same thing. Very nice staff btw! Go back to my flight agency, the sales clerk Kevin now already knows me and my intense stare. He says he can rebook it for 109 USD. I say "No, my friend got it rebooked for free". Show him the screenshot of the website stating this free rebooking due to Corona (Thanks a million, Mary Anne!), he nods once and proceeds. I got back to the office with a new ticket leaving Saturday. Great! That gives me time to prepare and to enjoy my last days here... Status: 8 c...
