The rally was over, Uwe and I were going back to Kigali. He’s driving south back to South Africa, and this will give me a chance to say goodbye to Yann and Jeanne. We did a bit of climbing on the way, and oh boy am I rusty 😀 But I’m glad we took that detour, as always, Rwanda is stunning of beauty.
After a final goodbye, it was now time to see the rest of Rwanda, which was mostly the beautiful coast along lake Kivu.
