Last night Lon and I went out to celebrate the 12th anniversary of my leaving the UK to join Lon in the Netherlands.
We decided to go to the Milles Collines (aka Hotel Rwanda) as its one of Kigali's swishest joints, complete with pianist tinkling away in the back ground. Its called the Panorama restaurant and has an unparalleled view over the city, due for a refurb the decor is decidedly amateur 80's and the service was timely and efficient - it all felt decidedly out of place until we were given the coffees ordered by the only other occupied table - phew we are in Africa!
We had a lovely meal, but we couldn't help thinking about the hotels history.
