This post is way overdue.

We arrived back from Ethiopia just before Christmas and many of you have asked to see pictures from the trip. After just a few more sentences your curiosity will finally be satisfied so hang in there! An experience like this is quite difficult to put into words so I have decided to just let the pictures do the talking (he says while he continues to type more words).

After two years of saving, many hours of planning and a couple of setbacks that nearly derailed our trip, including the possibility of supplementary exams, Becky and I were finally able to travel to the enigmatic and magical land of Ethiopia.

We travelled nearly 3000 kilometres, to7 destinations using a multitude of transportation including taxi’s, buses, minibuses, horses, planes, tuk-tuks and boats. We experienced both the vibrancy and poverty of Addis Ababa as well as the overwhelming beauty of the Bale mountains. We befriended locals and we befriended foreigners, we were treated with warmth and hospitality and we were ripped off.  We wanted to stay there longer and we were ready to come back home. We experienced a full range of emotions with the vast majority of them being positive.

Without a doubt this was the most memorable trip that I have been on and if you are considering a travel destination, Ethiopia should be top of your list.
