We got up at 07:00 again and packed our bags. By 07:20 were sitting in the restaurant and ordered Ethiopian bread with honey. By 07:50 it had still not arrived. Just as our driver came to call us the food and tea arrived. We quickly gulped down the tea and took the bread in our [...]

We got woken by a knock on the door from the receptionist who said our car is waiting outside - 30 minutes to early. We got dressed and packed up in 10 minutes. We both had a bit of a cold which didn’t seem to get better and we didn’t have any medicine left. A [...]

We got up at 06:15 and packed our bags. By 06:30 the power came on so we plugged in our phones, but somehow the hot water still didn't work. We went down for breakfast and just ordered toast and tea. The skies were blue, so we were hopeful. At 07:30 we went to the the [...]

We didn't set an alarm, but got up around 07:00. Caro was still not feeling well, but we packed up and had a quick scrambled egg and toast breakfast for R22. We then walked to the bus station without being harassed. Only at the last moment did 5 touts jump around us shouting Gondar. We [...]

The alarm went off at 03:45, but it didn't really wake us up, because we were basically awake the whole night due to one or two mosquitoes and the creaking bed and hard cushions. By 04:00 we were at the gate and the taxi was one time. As Michael expected we were at the bus [...]

Day 124: Addis Ababa

Caro woke up early to do the last finishing touches on her assignment before submitting it. Hugo slept until passed 09:00. We decided we would stay another night at the guesthouse instead of trying to find a place closer to the bus station. When Hugo went down to inquire about this they asked what we [...]

Our alarm went off at 06:00. We got up and took showers, closed the tent and packed everything away. At 06:50 we requested and Uber and then went to park the car and lock everything. At 07:00 the Uber arrived and took us to the airport. There was very little traffic so we got to [...]
