Mount Kenya in a distance
We left early to make it in a good time to the border. We drove through the Kaisnet desert and the Dida Galgalu desert, a very rocky road. We were really scared for our tyres. And we hardly saw a car. Close to Moyale we met two cars going south to cheer us up that we were almost there. Quickly we exchanged addresses and back to driving again. And finally after 6 hours and 250 km we drove into Moyale. Then we had to wait because the immigration officers were having lunch, so that is what we also did and waited for them to appear. After that formalities at the border went smooth. The immigration officer told us that Ethiopia is a unique country. They have a unique language, different time, different alphabet, different calendar; they are now in the year 2000 and celebrating their millennium! And so on
And you know what... he was right. Ethiopia is unique!
That awful road!

Ha die Bart en Evert,
Hartelijk gefeliciteerd met jullie verjaardag. De blog geeft nog 3 juni aan, maar hier is het al later, dus dan wordt het tijd voor een felicitatie groet.
Begreep van Helma en Ed, dat jullie inmiddels in Khartoum zitten. Is daar ook een SPUR???
Mijn cadeautjes zijn onderweg, misschien is het pakketje er al.
Maak er een fantastische dag van.
Wilde wel even langs komen, maar dat gaat dit keer niet lukken.
Nu mannen genieten hoor!!! en de groeten aan mama en papa
