I got tired of my DVD player being on the blink... so I found the rest of the Long Way Down series on youtube... I take back my original comments - the gorillas and the elephants and the whitewater and bungee jumping and hippos... were all pretty darned amazing!!!
And in the midst of it all they knock the wind out of you with a trip to the genocide - yes genocide - museum in Rwanda...
I watched the whole Hotel Rwanda thing when it was released a few years back.
I have watched Black Hawk Down a few times - yes, Ewan is in that.
I dont remember any of this in real time - I don't know what I was doing at the time...
But this museum was sombering to say the least - it is at a church where civilians were hiding and in a matter of a day 5000 of them were killed with grenades, machetes, hammers and fire... One of the displays were the skulls bones and clothing of the deceased... Yes, sombering. Like a modern day Auschwitz for lack of a better description. And how sad that we can find a comparable event throughout other times in history.... What a shame humanity can continually be so inhumane...
I hope to find only happy attractions on my upcoming road trip to Ireland....
