Kinigi to Gisenyi, Paradis Malahide Hotel
How lucky are we that we are not going trekking today! As we lay in bed listening to the rain, we were thinking of all the people about to start their gorilla trekking. Given that it’s the rainy season, we were so fortunate with the beautiful day we had yesterday. The trek would be so slippery and so much more difficult and miserable in this weather.
We caught a taxi to Musanze followed by a bus to Gisenyi, then another taxi onto our hotel. We have decided to stop moving around for a few days, and take a break on the shores of Lake Kivu (on the border between Rwanda and Congo), to relax and recharge the batteries, sort out photos and fight over who gets to use the Kindle!

Once we arrived at our hotel we needed to go into Gisenyi to do some shopping, so we both hopped onto the back of a couple of motor cycle taxis (also known as “boda bodas”), wandered around the market, spoke incredibly bad French while trying to bargain, and waited under awnings until the rain stopped long enough for us to take a moto-taxi back!
