Yesterday we spent the day getting to know Kongo and Lume. Kongo did not brake out of his cage he’s got a bad cold, but has a good appetite and is generally quite happy. Lume don’t eat as much and is very stressed.
This morning we finally started the move to Lwiro. Early in the morning a pick up from ICCN came and got the chimps and us and drove us down to the boat. We got them loaded on to our little space, which was not very big as they had also put a car in the space we were suppose to have… We hung a tarp in front of us and sat on top of the cages. There were a lot of people outside and they kept pulling the tarp down to se what was behind, very annoying. After about an hour the boat departed and things calmed down a bit. Kongo and Lume were coping incredible well with all the noise and movement. After about 7 hours we finally arrived in Bukavu. The car that the ICCN had sent to transport us to Lwiro turned out to be way too small, and we had to hire another one. Luckily there was a truck in the area that we could hire, and finally off we went to Lwiro. We arrived very tired, and a lot poorer, late in the afternoon, and decided to wait until the morning with moving them in to the quarantine cage.
