We all got up early and Stanley and Niels changed the mounting of the gearbox (again), but this time we put in a "right-handed-car" part which fits perfectly. We also checked out the wheels and found out that one of the rear wheels had some free play. Not good… Over breakfast (eggs and porridge) we decided to have it fixed and thus stay in Addis another night.
Niels and Stanley went back to the old guys at the Michell Cott garage of yesterday. The free play was fixed in just a few minutes (tightening a bold) but… (always something else) the rear axle was worn at both sides and needed replacement. Another $200 later, at noon, the job was done only the woman with the receipt was out for lunch and we could not pay. Two of the BVSC mechanics took us out for lunch in a small "restaurant" with again wonderful shiro and strong Ethiopian coffee!
In the afternoon we visited the Ethnological (easier to type then to pronounce) museum near the US Embassy, hope not too close… This was actually an interesting museum located in the old palace of Haile Selassi (with his bedroom and bathroom displayed), now being the Hailla Selassi University.
For dinner we stopped (of course after some driving around the block) at the Kitfo Beat restaurant. We asked the waiter for the "mee-nóe" and his reply (as far as we could translate it) was they have only Kitfo (more or less raw meat). We asked for Shiro and he said: "No, Kitfo." We asked for Tibs and he said: "No, Kitfo." Three cooked kitfo then… until we saw fish and vegetarian dishes at the other tables… We changed the order into one of each!
