Return

A travel blog entry by ricduncombe

Well leaving Rwanda didn't exactly go to plan.


I left Huye at around ten in the morning and then hoped to jump on a bus at around one in the afternoon from Kigali to Musanze so that I could be at the Ugandan border town of Chanika by around five or six. Sadly though I was unable to get a bus out of Kigali until six in the evening and …

Well a week or so has gone by and I am still here, still in Kisoro and still at the Golden Monkey. It is infectious this place. The people are fantastic, the town vibrant and the scenery stunning. Market days of Tuesdays and Thursdays are great fun and a brilliant place to find interesting western T-shirts (you know those third world clothing …

T-Shirt Times

A travel blog entry by ricduncombe

Our friend Sam is leaving, well, not right now but there is a party coming up in his honour to he attended by the football team which he coaches.

Rumours of a 'Bush-Cheney - FOUR MORE YEARS 2004' shirt doing the rounds are …

Sorrow

A travel blog entry by ricduncombe

I am upset. I will not be winning the best t-shirt competition and therefore my rights to the $1million prize have been waived.

Stayed here for a couple of weeks in december 2010, went to Rwanda for two weeks, missed Uganda so I came back. Still here in mid February 2011. Amazing staff, the best town in Uganda and even the friendliest dog.

Don't even consider anywhere else in Kisoro
