To Lake Kivu and Back Again

Genocide
... 8216;more western’ hospital. Further bad news was that despite in previous blogs we assumed there would be no further meetings with the guys who attacked our tents guess who was there at the site. At least no one had the energy to say or do anything stupid.
All the guys were to sleep in a boys dorm and the night of hilarity took place as Ariel told us about some of his ex girlfriends, his brother and a few other bits and bobs which had us all in stitches. Bedtime stories ...
