Rough Roads What!


I had hoped to upload a very short and not great video of 4 wheel driving Rwandan style, but wireless is too slow to allow this - so instead more photos.

The villages we visited today were only 3 miles from the centre of Kigali, but this is really where the street children are. You turn off a main road, onto a very narrow deeply pitted dirt track, and the car churns its way vertically up this for about half a mile until you reach the skills centre.

When you drive past you get big waves from the children, they jump on the back of your truck, and we have to stop several times to encourage them off.

Would like to have got out, but we would have been swamped, there are so many of them. Its also really frustrating not to be able to communicate with them.

Anyway, we are just starting to get to understand a wee bit of Rwanda - but much much more to learn
