My Journey to Ethiopia \09
Ethiopia Day 3
Today we were supposed to leave Addis at 7.30am to head to Lalibela but we somehow managed to miss our flight. We had to rebook as there were no more flights going out that day. Fortunately for us there was no choice but to stop off for a night in a place called bahar dar. We were hesitant at first as we knew nothing about the place but it ended up being one of my favourite...

We were to visit 9 of my brothers and sisters at...

After wandering around for over two hours this morning we realized that the triple price for everything along with the frozen nose and toes were just not worth it. So now both mum and I are...

London Day 1 | 11:30am
Today we leave london behind and head to addis abbaba, Ethiopia. I’m feeling as though I’m drawing a prize from a lucky dip as I have no clue what to expect or what I am in for. I have travelled the world and have in fact visited third world countries in the past so I can say that I am somewhat prepared. As I sit here in my warm hotel room in London, trying to...
