MOTORBIKE TRAINING
This is the only game in town at the moment and just about the best fun I have had in I don't know how long. Today we were maneouvering between cones set 1.5 metres apart and doing emergency stops and changing gears up and down quickly. I managed to start getting the hang of balancing the clutch and throttle to keep moving really slowly though I do need a little more practice, to put it mildly. We have two more days of training (which boils down to about 45 minutes - 1 hour of actual bike time each) and the test is on Thursday week. Fun fun fun!! Other than that it is Amani jail-fever time but I am off tonight to a restaurant which specialises in barbequed chicken (chicken is rare and expensive here!!) to meet Steve and pick up my Kinyarwandan grammar book!
The other big news here is the arrest of Rose Kabuye in Germany and her extradition to France for trial in the alleged plot to assassinate President Habariyamana in 1994. I'm sure you have all seen the story (though I am sure it's not as big with all of you as it is here). Suffice to say the government here seems to be actually relishing the prospect, given the flimsiness of the charges.
Anyone got any tips on motorbike expertise - please let me know!!!
Thank you very much to all of you who helped me to reach and exceed my fundraising total. I am continuing to fundraise for VSO for the next short while, so if you or anyone else you know feel like contributing , please go to www.mycharity.ie/event/ruairi. Murakoze cyane cyane!
