Sunday

After our gorilla track, we were lucky to find ourselves at The Serena in Kigali. We went to the third floor to discover our triple was more of a single. An hour later, we were still trying to sort out a solution and Nini and I started talking to the bell boy, Sunday, while waiting for a new room. We had just gone to the local craft market so were showing him a few of the baskets that we had purchased (above).
 
We were happy with our room in the end and extremely excited to go to the well equipped, beautiful gym. 
 
We do have a gym membership on Zanzibar at one of the local hotels but only one machine (a jerky treadmill) turns on. Jumping jacks aren't highly recommended as the ceiling fans aren't far away and most likely would chop off your fingers or forehead. Although pretty minimal and basic, it's right on the beach and we've all come to love the release of going each day. Sometimes we bring our swiming suits, but the tides are so unpredictable that you can sometimes walk for miles to the water and sometimes float from the patio.
