This will be one of the most interesting part of my journey. My day started at 5.30am wake up. A quick breakfast we had to make our lunch for the day as well. Our truck ride to the border was not long. Still dark.The crossing seemed to take a while. Waiting for ournpick up also seem to take a while.We boarded a alterain truck to take us to the park. On many occasions we were followed by young children up the hill. They were trying to grab on to the back of the truck. THe guards at eh vback of the truck had to show their guns inorder to send the keds away. THese children would make death signs to us and pretend to shoot us. Our truck was to heavy to make it up the hill. We all got out and walked up 4 km. Local people followed us.
Arriving to Varunga National park. Now being close to 11am. Some of us ate our sandwiches. There were two groups of 6.

Our group seemed to take forwever to trek up the mistly mountain.
Gorillas in the mist. Literally that ius how it felt. Two hours or more later our group finally caught up to th e family of Gorillas. It was 7pm by the time we were back at the park office. I was getting tirsty, tired and hungary. Our drive back most of us fell asleep. Going through the border seem to take an extra long time.
Arriving back at camp was 10.45pm. Had a quick very late dinner and fell sleep.My next day was spent resing and to tired for me to do the day trip to Kilgali. I would be alone and would be to much. Laundry was done and alot of sleeping.
