It just so happened that my first full day in Kigali was a holiday. But we weren't entirely sure if it was a work day or not, so to play it safe we walked to work - only to find that there was none (I was kind of relieved as jet lag was in full force). So we used the morning to venture out a bit and explore the area.

After sleeping the afternoon away, we decided to explore other parts of the city. I quickly learned that walking (and ESPECIALLY running) will be very challenging in Kigali - it's all hills. You are constantly ascending and descending. I love it! In the evening, we hopped onto motos (motorcycle taxis - SO FUN) and headed out to an area called Nyamirambo. Stone roads and cute little shops make it a very pretty area. Kids come up to you just to hold your hand, it's really cute.

This is the street I'm currently living on. Beautiful trees and flowers!
The entire area is bustling with life and vibrant colours...and hills, lots and lots of hills. It's no wonder it's known as the land of a thousand hills!!
