After about 20 hours of travelling, rearranging parts of our luggage when Rob’s suitcase was too heavy 🤣 or waiting at airports we finally arrived at our destination. Paris, you were right – there is still absolutely nothing to do or buy at Addis Ababa airport! Luckily I just caught up on sleep as I had been sat by an extremely large lady on the previous 9 hour flight. She had spilled over the seat and arm rest leaving no room to manoeuvre at all. With Rob, who as we know is never very tactile, the other side of me I found it easier to wander the aeroplane gangways than squeeze back into my limited space.

Enough of the journey – we are safely here and don’t have to visit another airport for at least a week.🤣 Before that we have the small matter of a large mountain to climb!!

What better place to stay than where you get up in the morning and the first thing you can see is the MASSIVE mass you are about to trudge up. This coupled with hearing from all of the fellow residents, who are relaxing after their climb, how hard it is seems the perfect preparation.

The above is not a brilliant picture but above the clouds, just on the left you can see the snow capped peak. I’m hoping to get a better pic WHEN (not if) we reach the top.

Today is a day of relaxation by the pool and a visit to some local waterfalls.

If WiFi allows we’ll tell you more later.

Lots of love to all. Xxx
