Day 292

Monday February 10, 2014

Today might be the worst day of my life, until it became the best.

So wake up all ready and amped to go to Rwanda, until we make it to the airport and Melinda is refused her tickets because she doesn't have a visa nor will they issue one at the airport.

Please kill me.

So they tell us we can move the flight and go to the embassy and have a visa processed same day.

Too bad we get back in a car to Kampala without clarifying which embassy.

After we leave the Canadian embassy because it's not the one, we find ourselves 15 minutes too late for the visa registration at the Rwandan embassy.

Needless to say the threats of home, turned from threats to promises, until we came up with the plan to go to Thailand!!

I was excited considering that there were hotels with bathtubs and nightclubs and sit down toilets and for her sushi, for me food period.

And our prayers have been answered.

Too bad that on our way to the answer we detoured for dinner at Prunes, which doesn't live up to the hype. Olives all the way. Thank you Day.

And now we are in the car in another private ($130 dollars more than the $30 it would cost for both of us to take a bus) to take us back to Mbarara. We need our WHO cards to prove we've had our yellow fever shots.

I'm too excited!! If only our driver had the excitement in him instead of slightly dozing on these non illuminated streets.

The excitement is being replaced by fear.
