I had another trip to Kigali today -2 in a week! But this time I went by myself on the taxi bus. I also managed to negotiate my way around various parts of Kigali on moto and local buses and get the taxi bus back again. I seem to be getting the hang of it now! I spent most of the day sitting and waiting in various different offices for different things, collecting the post (none for me L) and food shopping. The trip was partially successful, so will have to repeat the venture again next week.
Whilst I was in Kigali there was an afternoon of activity at the local football pitch. A group of Mother’s Union members for Tanzania are visiting for the weekend and had an afternoon of sporting challenges with the local Mother’s Union. Unfortunately I only saw the very end but was told about what went on.
Firstly a tug of war – won by the Tanzanians, then a relay race – won by the Rwandans. The next activity sounds the most exciting- the participants stood in a circle alternating Rwandan and Tanzanian, and a chicken was let loose in the middle. The winner was the first team to catch the chicken. Apparently a Tanzanian lady landed on top of it, then everyone else landed on top of her! The last and most important event was the football match, which the Rwandans won with all the local school children watching and cheering.
No one here is certain how many days we have off over the Easter weekend. It seems that they have to wait the public holidays to be announced the day before on the radio!
