Questa mattina sveglia alle 06.45 e alle 08.00 siamo andati nella nostra chiesa nuova bellissima a sentir la messa e ad assistere alla consegna di non so quanti rosari a delle donne che verranno battezzate domenica prossima con l'arrivo del vescovo Abba ...
Addis exodus
... a car with missing headlights. Our highest point passed today was 3800 metres! There is plenty of deforestation. And yet Ethiopia is still quite green and fertile. People dress differently here, many more head scarves are worn by women, men are ...
Replaced by robots + genetically-enhanced monkeys
... (like a cross between a cow and a horse), dik diks, baboons, ground hornbills, bustards and of course, like everywhere in Ethiopia, emaciated cows and cocky goats. Blasting off photos and leaving the car to get a few meters from the zebra, we had a ...
A typical day
... to me "taxi-taxi" and we both laugh. 5:30pm Dinner is served in the guesthouse. The food is typical camp food, except in Ethiopia the main meal is at lunch, so dinner is light. After dinner we head down to the laundry room and pick up our freshly ...
Visits & Mt. Intoto
13 April - Peering across the Addis Ababa panorama through a 5AM lense is an enchanting sight. As faint hints of daybreak restle with the stillness a growing symphony faintly begins. It's Sunday morning and the faithful across this city of 5.5 million ...
May 24- In Addis Ababa
I'm doing loads of research and just got some great news that I will be able to add a couple of extra destinations to my travels- Kenya and Cairo! At 20-40$ round trip... how CAN you pass up this opportunity? Now I am in search of areas to volunteer in ...
Poisson cru
Voici une ville qui ne possède pas d'attraction phénoménale. Seulement une hôtellerie de qualité (pour 5 euros vous avez une chambre avec douche,WC propre et TV), des boulangeries-pâtisseries, des gens sympas ainsi qu'un charmant lac avec des ...
... ostie y salsa...
Questa volta ce l'abbiamo fatta...! Io e Laura siamo riuscite a fare le ostie, non erano proprio perfette sinceramente perchè rimanevano attaccate alle piastre, abbiamo provato a oliare la superficie, abbiamo provato a tenerle più tempo sotto, abbiamo ...
Addis Uh Bob Uh
... a point to eat everything I had on my plate. I can't tell you how many times my mom told me about the starving kids in Ethiopia to help me finish my dinner. I was determined not to become one of those starving kids. So in lieu of a raucous night, ...
Rimbaud et hyènes
J'attendais avec impatience de venir ici : tout cela pour nourrir des hyènes, un prédateur avec une mâchoire plus puissante que celle des lions. Il est toujours impressionnant de s'approcher d'animaux sauvages et de voir qu'ils ont peur de vous ...
Addis Ababa
... the rear skull as well as the entire upper part of the spine, so I saw no conclusive evidence of how they attached. We took a nap, then dined at the Cottage Restaurant as the Sabbath came to Ethiopia. After a Bible study in our room we turned in at ...
The Goha Hotel
I love days going into rest days. I'm not responsible for preparing a dinner, and I usually arrive at camp well before any cyclists or trucks, allowing me to relax and enjoy the city. An absolutely stunning drive through the mountains took us to the ...
First Leg. Check!
So. Here i am sat in a suprisingly light and airy internet cafe in Addis Ababa airport. Last time i was here was at some ridicould hour in the morning when nothing at all was open so i don't expect my memories serve it justice. As far as airports go it ...
Preparation Omo Valley Tour
Le sud de l'Éthiopie est connu pour ses tribus, donc je dois préparer mon tour. Les agences de voyage ont réussis à imposer au gouvernement une interdiction pour les touristes d'utiliser les camions isuzu pour voyager. Hors ils constituent ...
Night 30 - Firote Selam

... chewed them into a wad and packed them in our cheeks. For two hours we sipped on tea, talked about chat, America, Ethiopia, Africa, business, politics and religion. Our new friend traveled to China and Thailand for business dealing in light bulbs. He ...
Thieved
I had my wallet stolen yesterday. I'm not impressed. There was a wad of fresh Birr notes from the bank, where i had just gone to change traveler's cheques in the morning. Luckily, I only had my South African VISA card in there, and not any others. We ...
Day 34 - Lalibela
... ;4 dollars worth of Birr to my name by this point). The next day was a public holiday too so I'd be stuck. However Ethiopia has a healthy and very good value black market so I needn't have worried when the road got very up-y and down-y and it ...
Sightseeing in Addis Ababa
... palace is now part of the University. The Museum is well worth seeing with several displays of life in the various regions of Ethiopia and displays about the history of the country. We also went to the Ethnalogical Museum where we saw the skeleton of Lucy ...
Ethiopia's Story
... nice people and witnessed some of the most interesting cultures and tribes of this trip. I think Aid is misdirected toward Ethiopia – I have seen countries much less fertile and people poorer than here (thanks to Bob Geldolf's legacy the ...
Greetings from Addis Ababa!
After 40 hours of flights and airports, Ahmed Mohamed and I arrived in Addis, where we were greeted by a welcoming party of Afar tribal members. After checking into a near-by hotel, we were taken for a glorious lunch of mutton. Our first ...
