Return from Gishwati

The return down the mountain was as exciting as the ascent. This is the road we came up as we approached the milk collection centre.

We passed a little boy, maybe 5 or 6 years old carry a small bundle of branches on his head with mother following with a much larger bundle, presumably for fire wood at their home. They were obviously exhausted and needed a rest eventhough rain was beginning to fall at a steady pace.

The roads were already rutted but the additional downpour slowed our travel to less than 5 kph. The volume of water on the road just continued to increase.
