Football and farewells







Saturday saw us selling off the last of our (for sale) possessions to various Rwandans and embassy personnel, and on to the football where the Orange fans were out in full regalia for the match against Japan.

Somehow, more than other nationalities the dutch manage to mobilise for football matches - shame the football wasn't as exciting as the crowd would have wished for, but a win is a win - or as a t-shirt we saw said - better 1-0 ahead than 1-0 behind...must be the wisdom of the Cruijf.



Out for a quick bite (or so we thought) to the italianest Italian restaurant in Kigali Sole Luna (Sun and Moon) - you almost expect lady and the tramp to be sharing a plate of spaghetti meatballs at the next table - but its good grub, even if the lasagna takes an hour.


Lon went to the car wash to watch Cameroon lose (one game a day is already over my limit) - and no, he's not lost the plot, but Car Wash is a carwash and bar, which has the biggest screen in Kigali for the matches outside of the stadiums (stadia??)


Sunday, more packing, sorting and then onto a farewell party complete with brochette!
