Addis Ababa - 2

That evening we enjoyed our first traditional meal: injera with all kind of nice side dishes. It tastes a bit like sour bread. It is spread as a large pancake and the food is just heaped on top of it. It can also be served rolled up; so it is important not to mistake it for a napkin. It is usually made from tef, an Ethiopian cereal only grown in the highlands. It is rather filling. You just wrap a piece of injera around some food and eat it. Usually a “pancake” is shared with other people. And to be honest this was far more then we could eat among the four of us. For drinks Helma tried the wine made from honey `tej´ which was rather powerful, so she had a good night sleep.
Although our Sudanese visa were arranged it took us 3 days and a lot of money to retrieve them. But with the Sudanese visa in our passports we were ready to go. The boys were happy because they were able to see the final between Manchester and Chelsea. After the match there was a big after party on the streets in front of our hotel.
The next day we had a nice but ice cold swim in Ghion hotel and had for 4 euro a very filling meal including drinks for the 4 of us. Can´t complain about the prices in Ethiopia.
