Southern Tour Day One - Addis to Arba Minch

 

I am much indebted to Dr Gloves for hiring a 4wd and driver to take us to Omo Valley - tribal country.

It's a long journey although the road is now sealed most of the way. The further south we go, the more interesting the encounters. We pass through Gurage country, famed for their hard graft and their penchant for Kocho - a dish made using "false" bananas.

In Arba Minch we bed down at the Rendezvous Hotel - an upmarket brothel.
