A day trip to the border of DRC was cancelled, so we decided to take a walk and jog along the shore of lake Tanganyika close to hour hotel. Along the way we met another hippo - and aligator.
As always we met nice people who were eager to take a photo with us and learn more about the Peace Run.
Today the wind whipped up the lake - there were kite surfers - and local swimmers.
Enjoying the peace and power of nature.
Heading towards the Democratic Republic of Congo - the border is past a nature reserve only a few km away.
Meeting interested athletes along the shore.
Bliss in the water!
Two rugby teams, just back from an exhausting competition, enjoying the fresh water. Eager to have a photo taken with us and be in the picture!
Photo time all around! Sunday outfits.
Finishing with a soft drink for all.
The beach is well guarded - little peanut sellers have no chance to approach us, unfortunately.
Bujumbara road traffic.
Bujumbara vegetarian pizza - with "decorations" (pieces of meat, just for decoration!)
