Finfine Restaurant And Hotel Addis Ababa

... drive to Arbaminch via Wolayta village. Overnight at paradise lodge or Swaynes Hotel or Similar.

Day 4, WED, 18 NOV: Morning drives to Dorze village, and then a visit to the traditional village of Chencha, where you will sure be fascinated by the waving style of the Dorze people. Lunch will be at Swaynes Hotel. In the afternoon, you will drive to Lake Chamo for a boat ride. On Lake Chamo ...

... and most fascinating to try and put into words. How do you describe the totally foreign smell, look, feel and sound of this country? It is just so very different. Wonderfully different. Perhaps I should start by stating that many of the travellers we met coming out of he country had had less than pleasurable experiences. To put it bluntly, had we only listenend to heir advice (and had their been an alternative route – which there is not) we would have skipped Ethiopia all together ...

... woke up to soaking wet clothes. She was worried about them molding, so for the rest of the day, every chance she got, she was spreading her clothes out all over the place. The other passangers on the free transfer bus were judging her, but once we got on the flight the stewardesses seemed to think it was totally normal to spread wet clothes all over the empty seats, and even helped Brittany to do so.

... Harvey House, $20 and they take Visa. I'm good. Fortunately I don't have to worry so much about money as cash. They don't have ATM's here, and I don't like to plan my day around banks. Apparently they also have some draconian currency declaration laws here also, so I'm not sure how that plays out. One nice thing about being new to a country is that I can play the bozo, act and be dumb like I never could or would ...

... semble proportionnelle à la quantité d'alcool dans mon sang et d'aucuns prétendent même que j'aurais fait des démonstrations des mes cours de kick boxing (je rappelle que j'étais en jupe et que grâce à Dieu aucune photo n'a immortalisé cet instant). Soirée d'anthologie donc, notamment quand on rejoint le Bateau, un bar tenu par un français en face du Fendika pour un gin tonic (certains diront deux) qui visiblement a eu raison de mes entrailles. Après ...

... is raw I guess. I am so glad I transited through Nairobi for a day and shored up on Nyama Choma (roasted meat) which was a reaction to a vegetarian dinner in Amsterdam.  I'm doomed!! There is a conspiracy against me trying to get me to eat vegetables - what is this?  Hopefully the wonderful Ethiopian coffee will keep me so hyped up I won't even notice and I think I've identified a place where they will serve me meat with Njera (tef pancake) so sorted.  Don't worry ...

... for 12 days in the south. We bought many conserves etc. After resting I walked around: lot of people on the streets - calm and quite. Few tourists only. I went to a church, which is closed, but people pray in the corridors. We intend to go to a restaurant with folklore songs. Tomorow we leave at 7:00 and will sleep in Awassa. We go throught Butajira and the interesting places. i'LL WRITE WHEN i HAVE AVAILABLE (FREE) INTERNET. Yours Rivka

... pour dominer la crêpe au Nutella) et je rejoins ma belle chambre au couvre lit resplendissant de dorures histoire de finir ma nuit. Vers midi, je retrouve l'équipe au bureau à deux pas de la maison. L'environnement est si familier et à la fois si étrange maintenant que je suis ici pour de bon. Internet ne marche pas, comme d'hab et c'est fou comme on se sent seul au monde après 14 tentatives de Envoyer/Recevoir ...

... positive was baptised here. sometime after the hospital tested her and she was found to be clear of HIV. She died a few months later from another condition and the hospital admitted that her negative test was just an error, but still rumours persist of people being cured, hence serious ill people coming to Mount Entoto from many miles around. Some people forgo their HIV medication, for themselves and also for their children, instead putting their faith in ...

... What are you doing personally to stop the spread of HIV and AIDS?" When I told them I was a nurse, they said, oooh! doctor. And, thus I was promoted to an MD my first day in the country. :) After a quick bite, we headed over to the Sisters of Charity orphanage where Richelle has been volunteering for several months. I was able to volunteer here a few days as well and really enjoyed it. Mother Therese has ...
