  • Ciao Addis Today was a day off, and I made the most of it by wandering the streets of Addis. The city is quite a delightful sprawl of streets and laneways that make their way up and down the hills. I had Posted by JulB in Julian and Bianca Overseas | Mar 20, 2009
  • Elephant dust and injera In true Bianca fashion I celebrated my 28th birthday by watching baby elephants play in a mud bath - utter bliss for both them and me! The orphanage is on the outskirts of Nairobi and takes care of baby elephants Posted by JulB in Julian and Bianca Overseas | Mar 19, 2009
  • Meltdown Madness We are now in the middle of Ethiopia and as promised some more details on this country. First of all the border between Soudan and Ethiopia: I can only described it as a mad place! A mixture of military presence, with Posted by soafrica in Africa on a bike | Feb 15, 2009
  • In the land of the rocks and the craddle of humankind Je suis saine et sauve et toujours tres tres heureuse!! Long time without writting but the internet connection in the last days have been so so bad - that it was hopeless to even try - for those of you Posted by soafrica in Africa on a bike | Feb 9, 2009
  • Lalibela!!! On Wednesday May 28, after traveling for 36 hours and arriving to Addis Abeba (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addis_Ababa) (Ethiopia) at 3:30am, I'll be doing immigration and then I'll jump on a plane once more (thrice actually) at 7:10am to go to Posted by valkiria in Natacha's travel adventures | May 25, 2008
  • Journey to Ethiopia & Tanzania for Free Two people will stand the chance to embark on an amazing journey to Ethiopia and Tanzania. They will travel in the footsteps of the Queen of Sheeba, hike to the awe-inspiring Blue Nile Falls, discover hand-carved churches from the 12th Posted by Trvelocity in Journey to Ethiopia & Tanzania for Free | Apr 29, 2008
  • Addis Ababa (3) The first part of this entry will be the usual diary stuff but the second section will be a summary of Ethiopia through my eyes. Hopefully it will be useful for those who plan to visit in the future. We had Posted by jaredlking in Jared and Dianne | Mar 3, 2008
  • The road to Addis Ababa (2) Jinka to Addis Ababa was a two day afair with a stop over in Arba Minch. The first leg ran smoothly and we arrived at our stopover destination in good time. Last time we were in Arba Minch I had left Posted by jaredlking in Jared and Dianne | Mar 3, 2008
  • Jinka Originally we had plans of touring the Lower Omo Valley via a series of short stops but time and lacking transport had convinced us that we would be better off heading straight for the biggest and furthest town in the Posted by jaredlking in Jared and Dianne | Feb 27, 2008
  • Arba Minch The morning in Sodo was drowsy, one of the greatest advantages of the short bus trips is that they run all day, no 5am wake ups. We went back to the cafe at Di's request to get more of what Posted by jaredlking in Jared and Dianne | Feb 26, 2008
  • The road to Arba Minch Similarly to Debark at the Simiens, Dinsho is not served by its own buses but the Robe and Goba buses pass through. Once again we had arranged for some guy to go to Robe the night before and save us Posted by jaredlking in Jared and Dianne | Feb 20, 2008
  • Dinsho: Bale Mountains According to the Lonely Planet map Dodola to Dinsho was only a small trundle so we woke late, bought some bread and meandered down to the bus station. Unfortunately no buses were leaving for a few hours. I climbed onto Posted by jaredlking in Jared and Dianne | Feb 19, 2008
  • Dodola For the first time we refused to arrive at the bus station on time. We were told to be at the bus at 5 but we knew there was no need. We got up around 4:30 and got ready. After Posted by jaredlking in Jared and Dianne | Feb 12, 2008
  • Addis Ababa (2) We were back in Addis, this time with experience and confidence on our side. The first lesson we had learnt from our previous visit was not to stay were we did. This time around we opted to stay in the Posted by jaredlking in Jared and Dianne | Feb 12, 2008
  • The road to Addis Ababa Having pre purchased our tickets to Addis all we had to do was show up at 6 the next morning. If it wasn't for the free ride we got from the hotel owners friend that would've meant close to a Posted by jaredlking in Jared and Dianne | Feb 12, 2008
  • Lalibela The cheapest listed, descent hotel in Lalibela was 100 birr. An acceptable price for one night but we didn't want to pay that 3 nights in a row so after dropping our bags off we went in search of something Posted by jaredlking in Jared and Dianne | Feb 12, 2008
  • The road to Lalibela Whilst going through the usual, "I can put my own bags on the roof", "I'll tie the luggage down", "I'm not paying for the backpacks" procedure that we endure every bus ride Di realised we had left our stove in Posted by jaredlking in Jared and Dianne | Feb 12, 2008
  • Mekele With a slight sense of remorse we left Aksum on the ever reliable 6am bus, fearing a return to the trials of the everyday ethiopian experience. Expecting a full day on the road we settled in for another bum numbing Posted by jaredlking in Jared and Dianne | Feb 11, 2008
  • Aksum We had allowed six days for the Simiens and had only used four, leaving us ahead of our schedule, impressive seeing we didn't really have an itinerary. With the extra time up our sleeves we decided to slow it down Posted by jaredlking in Jared and Dianne | Jan 19, 2008
  • The Simien Mountains If you're all a little bit sick of my 'we did this, we did that' blogging then take a break while I fill you in on the life of a foreigner in Ethiopia. There is a phenomena here which the Posted by jaredlking in Jared and Dianne | Jan 19, 2008
  • Gonder With fear of repeating the epic Addis to Bahir Dar trip we found a few fellow faranjis (foreigners) who had there own van. They were touring through Europe, Africa, Middle East, Asia and Australia. Luckily for us, of all their Posted by jaredlking in Jared and Dianne | Jan 19, 2008
  • Bahir Dar The name says it all. After being stuck in holels with no water, no or intermittent electricity and being covered in dirt from head to toe and arguing with yet another driver about the price (gesticulation arguing is an art Posted by jaredlking in Jared and Dianne | Jan 8, 2008
  • The road to Bahir Dar The bus was moving at a snail's pace but no slower than expected. We had some 500km to Bahir Dar with an an anticipated trip time of 12 hours. When we left we were dreading the twelve hours, when we Posted by jaredlking in Jared and Dianne | Jan 8, 2008
  • Addis Ababa We arrived in Addis Ababa (the capital of Ethiopia) at about 2030 local time. With the help of the efficient staff we disembarked, changed money, bought our visas, went through immigration, picked up our bags (much to our delight) and Posted by jaredlking in Jared and Dianne | Jan 8, 2008
