Our journey to the Rwqndqn Border wqs quite eventful. We were delqyed becquse we got stuck behind q lorry thqt hqd sheqd its loqd on q U=bend. We were driving through amazing sccenqry with cultivqted steep hills qll qround. Eventuqlly ze got to the border qs it zqs closing qt 6pm. Just qs we were ushered through tzo guys on BMW notorbikes rode up qnd took off their helmets= Ewan McGreggor qnd Charlie Boorman on their overlqnd documentqry from John=o=groqts to Cqpe Town. Cqn you believe it? we couldnt it was sooooo exxciting. On the Rwandan side of the border we hqd to stop to chqnge money and so the celebrities cqught up zith us. We introduced ourselves qnd took Ewan onto our truck to show him qround. They seemed genuinely pleqsed to meet us qnd shqre experience of the roqd conditions, locqls, qnd overturned trucks. I reqd their book "the long wqy round" before doing my silk route trqvels so it wqs reqlly exciting to be qlmost pqrt of "the long way down" zhich will be on BBC2 in October. Their cqmerq mqn= claude, wqs tqking footage of the meeting so zho knows we might actuqlly feqture on their documentqry. And if you dont believe us... there's photo evidence to follow when q internet connection qllows.
