Washing Day in Rwanda

Doing our washing here just isn’t the same as it is at home! It’s jolly hard work and takes ages. And we don’t do nearly as good a job as the locals do. Saturday is usually washing day for us. Here’s a picture of Kathrin doing hers in the ‘kitchen’ 


When it’s all done we hang it on the bushes as the Rwandans do. It takes only a couple of hours to dry as the weather is so sunny and beautiful for drying clothes. It’s the dry season here at the moment. The wet season starts in September.
I took a photo of my washing last Saturday so you can get the idea.


And then a photo of Mareike and Kathleen hanging theirs as well.
