Kempala - Kigali

From Kempala we took the bus to Kigali (Rwanda). We "splurged" and took the VIP bus (15 USD instead of 10 USD for 9 hours) although I coulnd't really figure out what VIP stood for. The bus was pink, that must have been the P... . No in fact VIP means 4 seats in a row while normal would be 5 seats in a row. It's a pleasant 9 hour ride through wonderful green countryside. Entering Rwanda is a bit special. In Rwanda plastic bags are forbidden, yes - no joke and they inforce it. You have to open your luggage and they take away any plastic bag. There was this lady who had her shoes, shampoo etc all neatly packed in seperate plastic bags. She had to unpack everything. Luckily we had our plastic bags at the bottom of our backbag and they only looked at the top... Once that's over you enter hilly Rwanda with it's tea plantations, a wonderful countryside.
