So we have made it into Ethiopia the hassle with the visas has proved worth the wait! we left Jinja and crossed into Kenya we then drove for 4 solid days not fun if you have ever seen the roads in the north of Kenya you will know what I'm talking about but although the driving is hard the scenery is spectacular and changed every day ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! we arrived into Moyale and spent the next day driving to Aber Minch stopping off in a real traditional market where i got shoes made from tyres! and LP got a chicken and 1L of the local spirit for his birthday (fortunately the chicken was just on loan so after a pat it was returned to his owner and even more fortunately for him the spirit was tipped out 'by mistake') the day got exciting when we got 2 flat tyres! (driving at a ridiculously low speed how does that happen?....4 days on northern Kenyan roads wearing them down that's how!) the next day we drove into Addis Abbaba where we ARE IN A HOTEL!!! we had a traditional meal complete with injera (a spongy sort of pancake that tastes quite vinegary nice dipped in sauce its Ethiopia's answer to rice) today we spent the morning sorting out our Sudanese visas we pick them up tomorrow then its onwards and northwards.....
