An 11th hour cancellation of our first flight saw us depart Heathrow on two separate flights, Joff almost on schedule, but the main party almost 5 hrs late, rerouted via Istanbul, well that was a first!

We arrived safely in Kigali at 2am, it is now almost 4am and we are camped out at the airport waiting for a 7am flight south to Cyangugu to meet with new partners and visit new projects. Meanwhile, Joff is getting his beauty sleep at St Etienne's guest house.

We have been travelling since 6.30am Monday and won't see our beds until Tuesday night. Tomorrow could be a very long day but it is lovely to be back in Rwanda.

PTL you have arrived safely. Hope Joff enjoyed his nap! Paul and I are trying not to mess things up this end!! We've had a phone call and a visitor already - before 10.00. The rain is pouring but no leaks in the warehouse so all is good. Blessings Carol and Paul
