Greetings from Africa

After seeing the gorillas, I crossed the border into Rwanda but since then I have not had adequate wifi so have been unable to post. Back in Uganda, they have introduced a social media tax and you need a local phone and an Airtel Money account to pat the tax so no posting from Uganda.

I crossed back into Kenya but unlike the southern part of the country, it is mainly a wilderness and sparsely populated and no internet, Even phone reception was poor in places and not cheap.

Crossing the border into Ethiopia didn't improve things. There is only one telecom provider which is run by the government and guess what? band width is thin and slow...and you have to pay so I am still not able to post a photo but at least I can say that I am still here!

I spent some time in the Omo valley, home to more than a dozen tribes and whilst you may not recognise the names of the tribes such as the Morsi, you will recognise them as they wear lip plates in their bottom lip.

It is my last full day in Addis Ababa and tomorrow I will be going north to Laibela to see the rock down churches and on to Gondar and the Simian Mountains. I will post some photos as soon as I get some bandwidth.
