C est une ville que j aime bien donc petit arret d une journee sur mon chemin vers nairobi. Et hop de nouveau du poisson cru au petit dej.

Ils font aussi de bon jus de fruit, patisserie,la cuisine italienne et c est une ville propette et agreable.

On March 6, we started our trip to the South w/ our trusty 4 x 4, and Endale and Demeke, our guide and driver, respectively. (We realized it's impossible to get down South any other way, unless you want to self-drive (if you're crazy). There's a flight that heads to one town two times per week (saving a day's driving), in which case the car (having driven from Addis) can meet you at the airport, but it didn't fit into our schedule.) Though we'd ...

Shashamane...I was really excited to come here to see the 'Rasta' community. I didn't have that great of an experience though. After paying money to get in, and also donating money, my 'guide' which was a little boy in the community asked me to give him my mp3 player and also asked money from me for showing me around. I offered the money I had in pocket, which wasn't ...

Efter et stop i Addis Ababa gik turen sydpå for også at få et indtryk af den del af landet. Endnu en gang skiftede landskabet karakter. Store flade områder med masse af muligheder for et mere intensivt landbrug. Alligevel var traktorer undtagelsen. Som nordpå foregik den meste pløjning med to okser og en plov. Her kommer så endnu et af de store dilemmaer - hvad er vigtigst traditioner ...

There cannot be a bigger contrast than traveling from oil rich Dubai with excess and wealth, sky scrapers, malls, a 7 star hotel to rural Ethiopia, where people are living in many ways as they have for a thousand years. We landed in Addis Ababa around eight in the morning, but were soon on our way south to the Lake Langano region, a ...

Feburary,2, 2009 Awasa, Ethiopia Today we drive from Konso to Awasa and spend the night at the Buraa Pension for 70 birr with en suite. Konso is basically just a round-about where three roads meet. But wherever there is a round-about there are policemen making sure you go around properly. As we were leaving this morning Illias noticed that one of his tires was soft so he turned around and drove off the road to a tire repair shop. A young police officer trying to build up points for his ...

The 15th saw us struggle out of bed with the sun heating up our tents by about 9am (pretty much the best lie in you'll normally manage in tent living). Anthony our guide had been up since 6am as that was when the bus left and that was where he'd slept. He went to organise a minibus for the day for us to get to the Hot Springs. We climbed into the Minibus and headed into Shashemene where we stopped for Brunch at a lovely cafe with delicious cakes, mixed fruit ...

On the bus to Awasa, we made the noob error of taking the seat which people seemed to be shunning. It is right on the wheel casing and it is unclear which is worse, the lack of room or feeling every pebble. In Awasa we stay in a hotel without any running water and get to watch Germany's opening World Cup match though a cloud of moths. Awasa is a ...

Hello & welcome to 01/02/1995. Back when Mr R was jet-setting his way around the world on his way to Australia. And Mrs R was busy with her Physics A-level homework, dreaming of a far distant future - a grand old age of 25 and backpacking around the world.The Ethiopian calendar is all to pot. Due to some bloke called Julian, they're about 8 years behind the rest of the world. Added to that, while we think we're ...

Hey there everybody.  We are now in Ethiopia, with sore bums after our northern Kenyan journey.  The worst roads in Africa yet! But this is going to be brief.  Internet is wickedly expensive in Ethiopia, and Mr R has much more important things to be doing. Like reading the match report of Carlisle's 4-2 win at the weekend. After covering loads of ground in the last week (it seems ...
