Welcome to Rwanda
I finally crossed the border
The border crossing was actually
Pretty straightforward
I was expecting
A few
Issues there
Because my bike was
In Uganda for
Over two months
So I had to pay the fine
I thought the fine's gonna be
Lots of money
Cost me lots of money
But actually it was only $80
So it's all good
I also stopped using my carnet because it's already expired
So I entered Rwanda without the carnet
And that went well
I just paid $30 for
Temporary
What is it called?
Temporary custom declaration
So
I'm allowed to be in the country for two weeks
Which is enough for me
Can always extend it later
So
Yeah
It was pretty straightforward
And now I'm in
Made it to Kilgali
And I checked myself in
It's nice and tough
For $20
My bed's got a net
Which is quite standard for Africa
I've got my own bathroom
Did some laundry yesterday
It was great
And today I'm on a mission
Today
I need to find a hairdresser in town
So
Look at this hair
Totally needs
Some work
So yeah
Wish me luck
Let's go
Yeah
Not too bad
Excuse me
Took me two hours
To find a salon who actually would do
What?
Attempt to do my hair
Ask about the blonde
Got a little bit chicken
Sort of
You know
Yellow
