Monday 10 March 2008 (day 10)

"Potholes" is the word that expresses the most part of the road that goes North from Arba Minch along Lake Abaya and not just a few… Six-and-a-half hours of shaking and bouncing. The good thing was that we were gong to what the LP describes as "potentially the nicest campsite and budget accommodation in all of Ethiopia"! It is in Awasa, south of Addis Ababa at a Rift Valley Lake, the Authors choice and marked with GPS coordinates. Sounds promising one would think. Not knowing that the GPS coordinates were leading you directly INTO the lake! After some more searching and asking around we found a small garden (10 by 10 meters) in the middle of the town. It was a nice campsite, but hopefully would not go for the nicest in all of Ethiopia…We cooked ourselves some delicious pasta consisting of spaghetti, tomatoes and tuna (your name has to be Stanley to recognize the tuna).
