I have to say, there isn't much in Gisenyi. The lake looks great but I was accompanied by foul weather meaning that it was pretty much robbed of it's best attraction. However I spent many an hour reading my guidebook, reading my book, writing my diary and of course writing my beloved travelpod!
The room that I had in the hostel was way in the corner, right beside the kitchens. I'd love to say that I got on well with the staff, but all they seemed to do was say hello and then laugh. Perhaps that was them being friendly, or maybe I had something stuck to my forehead for two days. One afternoon I came out my room to find them all plucking chickens, with feathers everywhere. I know it probably sounds naive, but you forget sometimes that people have to do this, I thought it was brilliant to see.
Ermmm, that's about it, Gisenyi was chilled, but I now have a plan and an idea of how to execute it. I'm heading back to Uganda and then down the west side of Lake Victoria. It's not a convensional route so I think there may be a few problems to sort out along the way! At least that's part of the fun!
