Ethiopia - Churches, mountains and tribes


We began our Ethiopian sojourn in the country’s capital, Addis Ababa. Not long after touching down it became very apparent that we had left our safety net of Nairobi! We knew that Ethiopia wasn’t going to be a picnic, but it’s always hard to adjust out of the comfort zone. Within the first few days we were attempted pick- pocketed, pinched, pulled and ominously shouted at in the streets with calls such as “the white man is the devil” – What a warm welcome to Ethiopia!

Kenya - Weekends


WAIT! This blog isn't as long as the last one, promise! We've just finished up in Ethiopia (which we'll write about soon) but, we thought a few photo's from our weekend expeditions in Kenya would suffice for now.

As mentioned previously, we did plenty of exciting things in Kenya during our weekends including Masai Mara National Park, Nakuru Game Reserve, and a visit to Mombassa and the island of Lamu - There's not a great deal of explaining needed here...
