A Slight Change to Plans

Hmmmm .... it seems that Kenya Airways is a little rattled by the recent plane crash ... one of their planes isn't feeling so well and so they've had to cancel flights out of Kigali .... you can imagine the chaos this has caused here .... all the Yanks are stamping feet and yelling about how important they are and how they have to get back (whilst muttering about third world etc etc) .... the various African women are all anxious as they've left kids at home and their fathers being good African men have barely coped with the four days let alone any more .... and there are few rooms in Kigali to put people up in ....

So for once my general habit of conflict avoidance has proved positive .... I agreed to leave on Saturday instead of Thursday .... and waived an offer of some grotty room in Kigali .... I'm going to take my chances and travel round the country a bit as well as doing the long-planned gorilla trekking .... i've found a driver (a young married muslim guy - so should be safe i hope) .... and am now doing some frantic reading about places to see ....
