First Visitors!

I had my first visitors to Rwanda last week. Belinda and Adam came from Hong Kong! It was SO nice to have them here and be able to share everything new with some old faces. They were lovely guests and took advantage of the opportunity to see lots of the country! The weekend they were here we went to Gisenyi on Lake Kivu. It was another lovely relaxing trip with lots of food, reading, and swimming.
The best story from the week they were here was on our way back from the lake. That morning I had drank several cups of coffee and proceeded to drink tons of water on our way back down to Kigali. About an hour and a half into the ride I couldn't hold it anymore and really had to go to the bathroom. The problem with Rwanda countryside however, is that there is not a single bit without tons of people! So every place I thought I could pull over on the side of the road, there were more people. I finally couldn't hold it anymore and jumped out of the car where i thought there were no people. Unfortunately the kids up the road that we had passed saw us and shouted "Muzungo!!" This is like the national children's call for "Come quick! There are some white people and we might get something from them. If not at least they are entertaining!" I ran across the street and up a little hill only to run straight into a little group of houses and more children shouting "Muzungo!!!" I ran back down the hill and up to where Belinda and Adam were standing outside of the car. I quickly told Belinda to entertain them. I thought she'd take out her camera or something, but she took me very seriously and proceeded to start dancing, singing and clapping. The kids killed themselves laughing and 2 keen little girls started immitading her. It was just enough time for me to run quickly back to the trees on the other side of the road and relieve myself. Ahh! Thank you Belinda! (Don't worry we have it all on video!)
So once again it was a lovely time having Bel and Ads in Rwanda. It was a great time and of course you are always welcome again! I hope to see many more of you here at some stage.
