My Ethiopian Send-Off
This is a top pick! ... I caught a ride to the capital with some of the Twelve Tribes elders, so the ride was smooth. I went to the post office in Addis Ababa to try and send a box of Ethiopian goodies to the U.S. They wanted almost $100 to send just under 6 kilos. I'll have ...
Bahir Dar - Pelican Central
This is a top pick! ... made it to Bahir Dar on the edge of Lake Tana. I tried to ignore the burned out plane just off the runway at Addis Ababa. The scenery was fantastic from Addis, a sort of green and brown patchwork with trees every now and again where the villages were. ...

Mercato in the rain
This is a top pick! ... about another route south. We don't want to stay in Shashemene, since it's meant to be one of the worst towns in Ethiopia for travellers. All the stone-throwing stories seem to originate here, and even Philip Briggs warns you off it. Instead we'll ...
Election mayhem
This is a top pick! ... pause and then the penny belatedly drops. "No, get lost!" It might be worth mentioning here that the link between Rastafarianism and Ethiopia is largely one-way. Weed is illegal. I didn't sleep well again - maybe it was due to the rock hard ...
Addis Ababa - back to the big city
This is a top pick! ... impressive indeed, especially the Oryx, but most of these animals were from the south - I'm sure I'll see more once I leave Ethiopia. Botched up trying to speak with Erica on the phone. Hopefully tomorrow. Drowned my sorrows with a few beers on the ...

This is the (Ethiopi-) End
This is a top pick! ... of time. If you are overwhelmed, just think how Chris felt. Seasi had so much knowledge that a TV crew from the capital city of Addis Ababa had flown in looking for him to give them a sound bite on some of the city sights. Seasi's father was a priest ...

Addis Ababa - the Doldrums
This is a top pick! ... Addis for about five days now. I've developed an intense torpor and vague depression. I've done this country a disservice. Lalibela and Addis Ababa, and that's it. I even turned down an opportunity for a place in an 4x4 for cheap, going to the Omo ...
Day One
This is a top pick! Okay, just a quick e-mail to let everyone know we are safe and alive. Addis Ababa is a good city to start this little trek in - its not too big or small. We've been walking around all day and the kids are great. They come running after us, calling ...
Ethiopia, who would have thought?!
This is a top pick! ... , fear, or ignorance that can exist in all of us. I think I am the better for facing it.*) I spent two days in Addis Ababa, mostly walking around, getting stared at, and trying (almost always in vain) to check my email. It appears the entire internet ...
Addis Ababa - Heavy Security..
This is a top pick! We landed at Addis Ababa international at about 8.30pm after some 24hours straight in the air or air terminals, to put it mildly, we were gutted. But the great thing was that we knew that Heather had arranged an airport to hotel transfer. We walked ...
Addis Ababa
... incredible how many things can happen in one day. But I'm not easily side tracked, and I am now in Ethiopia . During my Washington-Rome-Addis leg of my journey I switched seats three times, finally settling beside an Ethiopian-Miami-Gangster-convenience ...
Addis Ababa
First day and I soon realised that what I had been told about everything taking a long time in Ethiopia was true as the "5 mins wait" for the hotel shuttle bus turned into 35 mins. The journey from the airport to the hotel took me through streets teeming ...
Hope this works
Quick entry... This is a new entry so I can send a notification to everyone. The proper post is below this one in the list but everything went pear-shaped before I could send it off. I think the only thing I'm missing at the moment is ...

... il tragitto abbiamo osservato come la città fuori dai nostri finestrini é avanti anni luce rispetto alla nostra amata Pugnido. Addis Abeba è una città vera e propria con tanto di negozi, vetrine, insegne luminose, parchi, strade a 3 corsie, vigili e ...
…Addis Abeba così normale e così diversa!
Sveglia ore 06.30, colazione con biscotti buonissimi e S. Messa alle ore 08.00 tenuta in aramaico ma con un rito di tipo orientale. E' una funzione molto strana e diversa da quelle alle quali siamo abituati ed è ricca di gesti particolari e di preghiere ...
