We had dancers to entertain us outside the hotel as we were trying to leave this morning.They are rather beautiful people with fine features and an ever ready smile and it is such a relief to see men and women interacting in a normal way after Saudi. The drive to the Ethiopian border was stunning through open plains dotted with trees, more verdant as we got closer. The border itself was incredibly easy helped by the local fix it man, we had to go in and out of various huts with passports and carnets then we drove across to Ethiopia and had to do the same but we were through by 11. The drive then was amazing, so many people around all of them busy walking along the roads and working in the fields, bringing in the harvest on carts pulled by donkeys.
