I am here to go treking with the Gorilla's. I am going tomorrow, but here today cos some have gone today. I went into town this morning to do some overdue shopping but it was closed. There was a big rally on about GBV (gender based violence). The governor and first lady came so the whole town closed down but only the school kids went to the stadium. Everyone else seemed to go home. I had fun and got in amongst it for a while but then got bored cos they were speak...

Very early start today to get all the way to Kigali. We were supposed to stop at Lake Bunyonyi but a truck was attacked there a few days ago so we are not going there. The upgrade last night was well worth it and I am going to look at it all the way home now. I had my own hot shower and dunny and NO SNORING.

You cant imagine how boring it is lying in a tent for 5 hr. I was woken up at 1am by a freight train sleeping in the bed next to me. It was the loudest snoring I have had to put up with so far.

ONLY 10 DAYS TO GO Im upgrading tonight no matter what the cost. Our itine...

We are here for 2 nights so when we arrived everyone took the opportunity to do some washing. Some put it in and some did it themselves, but we ALL did washing. The campground is pretty good, hot showers, green grass and clean toilets. We are here to do a walking safari with the chimps. On the way here the trip leader was advising some of the guys who to tip and how much, before we have even arrived...so it is NOT a tip it is a surcharge. The chimp walk was pret...

Latish start today cos we have to go to the shops. The Sheila's seem to want to go to the supermarket and get coffee everyday. The Lugogo Mall was mostly closed cos it was early, which was a real shame. It is a really classy place with armed security guards patrolling the outside and TWO security at every shop to metal scan everybody. There was a menswear shop that had Safari suits and heaps of other cool gear and I'm sure I coulda found something to suit me. I c...
