Wednesday

 

A funny old day started with feeling the after effects of last nights beer and kebabs in a  local restaurant with our lovely hosts JC and Dr Egide. we exchanged family photos , discussed everything from football to the situation in Burundi which sadly we have seen the escalation of today with the attempted coup which seems to have affected everybody here.

 

This mornings closing session became very lively with intense discussion around breakthrough and regular dosages stimulated by our quiz! We feel that by the end we have made great progress even with Mr Grumpy! Several stayed around for a post course photo, those who didn't missed out on chocolate so their loss really!

 

The cash situation has been successfully resolved although our dollar exchange took place in an unmarked, unfurnished shack with the money appearing from under the counter!

We used our dollars to see Musanze caves, volcanic dug outs, dark, wet, precarious and leading to a bat colony (Victorias worst nightmare) we were escorted by armed soldiers (to scare off the wild dogs apparently) - if we had known this beforehand we'd have seen the gorillas!

 

As if that wasn't enough we have just had an hour counselling the course organiser on his future career path! Julie has also been asked if she will stay in Rwanda, she told them she is on strict instructions to return to the hospice!

 

Tomorrow we do it all again to a new set of 40 delegates!
