I Saw Africa Today

Posted on January 8, 2007 by admin

Bus Ride From Addis Ababa to Bahir Dar Well, I’ve arrived in Bahir Dar. Think Daytona Beach, but set in Africa. It lies on the southern end of Ethiopia’s largest lake. Lake Tana. The journey here was long but well worth it. I finally left the dusty, sprawling and noisy confines of the capital and… Continue reading

Merry Christmas from Ethiopia

Posted on January 7, 2007 by admin

Ok, first of all you are probably wondering why I am getting on the internet so much after leaving the comforts of home for new and exciting things. Well, they make it too damn easy. A lot of backpacking hotels have an internet shop right next to them or below them so it doesn’t take… Continue reading

I fought the law… and I won

Lazy in Nairobi

Posted on January 5, 2007 by admin

Ok, so maybe I was a little more exhausted than I thought. After taking a walk this morning and stopping for a Fanta, I headed back to my hotel and laid down to read my guide book for Ethiopia. I eventually passed out and slept for 7 hours. I hope I can still get to… Continue reading

The flight was as good as I… Continue reading

Goodbye Bed

Posted on January 2, 2007 by admin

Tonight is the last night I will be sleeping in my own bed for quite some time. I ate my last home cooked meal. Spaghetti and sausage with loads of romano cheese and garlic bread with a Barq’s root beer. I didn’t get a whole lot of sleep last night so I’m hoping that I… Continue reading
