How quick the time flies by! Seems like only yesterday I was waiting for them to arrive!
Just dropped Dad & M off at the airport. Feels weird sitting here knowing they're still in the country for a couple more hours but out of sight...
Had a nice last day, though: coffee at Chez Lando over the road, then to Caplaki Craft Village to pick up souvenirs. They bought me a pair (male & female) of traditional Rwandan masks - they’re not easy to come by as most masks here are Congolese. These are very unusual, I'll put a picture up soon.

Got back from there, finished packing, then melange at La Planet before heading to the airport. We used the same taxi guy all day (Claude) - really nice man who offered to drive me home again for free, but I wasn't sure how long we'd be so I took a moto.
Thinking back on it, it's been a whirlwind two weeks. All five provinces (North: Ruhengeri/Virungas, South: Murambi/Butare/Nyanza, East: Akagera, West: Kibuye & Central: Kigali) in under two weeks! Good going.
They also met a wide range of people. Although my colleagues didn't make the effort, they met almost everyone from VSO at a leaving do for Hannah & Samira on their second day here. Amanda and Mike also turned up, and they had a good laugh with Bruce too. They also met a couple of Deaf about town, and Cathryn, Hirut and Giudi, who came out for meals with us to Papyrus and SoleLuna, plus Rose & D.
Was all good. Feeling absolutely shattered though, which makes me fragile. Just going to eat chocolate, catch up on e-mails, and get an early night.
Safe journey guys!
