After another breakfast of Dates and Digestive, we packed our tents and sleeping bags and headed out of Sudan and into Ethiopia. We started at 9:00 am and finally got the letter faxed to an Ethiopian town 35 km. from the border, then waited for the fixer to go get it and got into Ethiopia by noon.
We also discovered that the Ethiopian Calendar is 2003, and Ethiopian Time is 6 hours ahead. Once we left the border it was 39 deg. C and didn't get any cooler until we started getting into some elevation about 120 km later.
The terrain started to change and we started seeing mountains. I saw a snake cross the road and we all saw some monkeys.
We all didn’t get the proper rest from the border town so we rested along the road; however the locals are always curios and kept Hussain up while Ali and I rested.
We reached the town of Bahir Dar and decided to stay an extra night to see where the Blue Nile starts at Lake Tana.
Good afternoon all.(الله يحفظكم من الشر).It must be a unique experience to live among a nation living year 2003 in year 2011 !!!. Ethiopia is a land of culture and agriculture. Rastafarian believed that Ethiopian King namely Haile Selassie was the returned Messiah of the Bible who will lead a future golden age of eternal peace and prosperity. As for agriculture English and Italians used this land to grow banana and grapefruit. However I have noticed from your whereabouts that you are heading for some twisty road, enjoy and I pray to God that you wont
ReplyDeletesee no more snakes or any thing bigger than that.

Salam to all. It appears you are resting at Yebelo Park Sanctuary. I hope you enjoy your time and after that a decent meal.It will be interesting to learn about your experience in the Park. I forgot to mention in my last comments that the production of your picture and clips are excellent. I think Al watan representative should fly to mid way for a real time interview.Good luck and May God be with you .

"After 44 km on the Moyale road in Kenya, our rear suspensions leaked, so we are shipping our bikes to Nairobi"
والله مو بشاره.
خطاكم السوء يا جماعه.
و عسى الله يسهل عليكم ويطمنكم على سياكلكم و يجعلها آخر الخرابات.

When you say our rear suspensions leaked was that all three bikes?
ReplyDeleteAnd were they not checked in Kuwait before departure?
at least nothing broke the chassis like in the movie long way round ;)
take care & god be with you.
Good evening all. It is a relief to learn that your stagnant position on the map is due to bike failure and nothing else. Hope you find the right spare and more importantly a good technician. Take care and may God bless you all.

ReplyDeleteMust be a major fault with the suspension design if you ask me, it seems the germans are finding it hard to get things right the first time. I wonder what there cars are about!! I don't think I will get one now.
