End of Burundi Day One

So after a number of flights and minor incidents (see previous posts) the weary travellers made it to Burundi and took to their beds for a quick nap! 

After lunch a few of us took to the streets of Buj for a quick stroll accompanied by Dr Aline's lovely children who are soon America bound to follow the family tradition of medicine. 

A chilled afternoon was complete by relaxing in and around the hotel rooms. Jon and Matt witnessed DIY Burundi style as staff replaced a mossie net by building a precarious tower on Matt's bed to the ceiling to reach it. Previous attempts with a long-handled squeegee had failed. 

Another lovely evening meal was complete when Bosco joined us and we rounded off with thanks and praise for a safe journey, wonderful friendship from our hosts and prayers for Fee to join us safely. 

Finally we turned in after a game of cards that worryingly showed that the good folk of St Mary's are remarkably adept at cheating :-)



Big love to all at home 

Jon
