Arrival

Have arrived safe and well in Huye, Rwanda, (eventually!)

We had 7 hour overnight flight to Dubai, stayed in airport for 5 hours then another 7 hour flight to Entebbe, bus to Kampala arriving 10pm, then got up at 5am for 18 hour bus ride.

Eventually arrived after 3 days travelling and a total of 4 hours sleep! Its very dusty, reasonably hot (about 20 degrees).

The bus ride was madness. There aren't any motorways, only one lane roads, and buses just honk their horns whilst travelling at around 70mph so that people walking along, or buses going towards them go out of the way!

All the Rwandan students are really friendly. We went out to a party on the first night we were here and had a blinding time.

So far we are doing ok, but the place we are staying in has no running water or electricity. Internet access is available here at the university, about an hour and a half's walk from where we are staying. Everything is a really big effort. To cook a meal takes about 3 hours after you have collected water,
boiled it, etc.

Anyway, am having cool time. The scenery is pretty amazing. It isn't uncomfortably hot despite being on the equator because it is at such a high altitude.
