We ended the night at a restaurant called New Cactus - for all of you travelers out there - definitely try out the Lonely Planet set of books. We got all our recommendations from the "Africa" book by Lonely Planet and they were right on!!!! For dinner, we had pizza! It was awesome! Plus, a great view of the city at night! Luke and I said a toast to his fiance' Angie - and discussed all the craziness that is Beni - it was hilarious!
The next day, we hung out at Bourbon Coffee again and went grocery shopping. Getting all the things we can't get in the Congo - soy sauce, cayenne pepper, Chai tea, and lots of chocolate!!!!!
The bus ride back to Gisenyi was occupied by a local hotel owner who wanted to practice his english with me. He invited me to come back to Rwanda soon to see the mountain gorillas. I told him that it was on my list!
That night in Goma, at the Guest House, we got out on the lake with a pontoon boat - it was super fun! Once again - I took an extra long shower and decided I was ready to head back to Beni the next day by TMK flight.
All in all - one of the best spring breaks ever!
