After a few days in Nairobi - which we spent resting, doing laundry, fixing odds and ends on the car : changing the tyres, checking the bearing, disconnecting the immobiliser... - we will be leaving Nairobi tomorrow to carry on north to Ethiopia where we expect to spend between 4 and 6 weeks before returning to Nairobi. We got a three-month visa, here in Nairobi, for USD20 each.
Disconnecting the immobiliser
The country is huge, the roads (we have heard) are slow going. We are keen to experience as much as we can of all its wonders.
Although Ethiopia was one of this journey’s main goals, it is also the place for which we knew the least about what to expect. Over the past few days we have been chatting to other travellers, and browsing through a few books, so now we have a slightly better idea of what is to come.
The country’s history is fascinating and its landscapes seem at times quite dramatic. What travellers tell us is that they have either loved or hated are the people. We are looking forward to live it for ourselves.
We have been told that internet connections are extremely slow and not really worth trying there, so don’t expect much news in the next month or two. We will try and update the blog again on our next visit to Nairobi.
