Ethiopia

So like I was saying...when we got to Ethiopia they had everything ready for us

We hopped on a bus and went to our hotel. we were actually really excited. Sleeping in a bed for the first time in two days...a shower...it sounded really good. Not good that we lost a day in Ndola but good for our exhaustion.

We showered, rested, wandered the hotel, and used the internet until supper was served...that is a whole other thing....African don't eat supper before 7pm... so we had some time to wait...it was all good tho...got some fun pictures.


Oohh the smog

This is the safest looking scaffolding that we saw there


This is a restaurant that you could see from the hotel


Satellite dishes on a roof

Our hotel room- it was quite nice

The watchmen from our window, standing at the gate to the hotel
The view from our balcony
If you look close you can see a couple of blue and white vans...those are like a cross between a taxi and a bus. There is a guy hanging out the window of the van yelling which area they are going next, but will pretty much stop and pick up whoever will flag them down....they typically had no less then 8 people at a time in these vans....but usually a lot...A LOT more than that.



Jers mom wanted to take a picture of us in front of the hotel gates...which was cool...but she almost got trampled by a herd of goats that was being herded down the side walk. It was sooo funny.



We were up bright and early the next morning to fly to Lusaka Zambia.........

It looks like you've been busy! Are you still in hairdressing? Thanks for the update and the 'hello'! Send my love to Evangeline would you please? To answer your pondering as to which place is ours, we have a large wind turbine and the skeleton of what's left of our studio walls after last year's storm... but we're living there full time and loving it. Feel free to stop in any time :)
