Bonus day off!

I have found myself with an extra day off today for International Women’s day, so have time to update my blog.

On Friday we had a frustrating, long, hot day in Kigali but were able to go to a couple of larger supermarkets and stock up on a few western luxuries including pasta, hard cheese, nice bread and ingredients for baking. I did resist other items such as jar of chocolate spread for over £5, Heinz ketchup for £3 and Kellogg’s cereal for similarly exorbitant prices!

I think weekends will frequently involve time experimenting in the kitchen, (cooking and baking) so if you have any easy, basic recipes that I could try, e mail them to me!

The scenery and nature here is beautiful. The landscape is green with some very colourful plants, flowers and trees. There is also a constant sound of birds and insects. On Friday and Saturday the sunsets over the lake were amazing, both very different.
