FROM ADDIS TO NAIROBI

Flying back into Addis

Heading south again

Local homes we pass

More local carriers

Passing lovely scenery

Collecting the banana crops

The Konso area is covered in terraces

Heading up the mountain.... where is the good road!

Amazing local villages

Clothes market

Bath time and water collection time


Oh dear...


More clothes for sale

Women work hard here

It's a lovely drive out to Jinka



Every day the biggest chore is collecting water


He went to sleep at the wheel. And very glad to see us

In fact he's totally wrapt!!

Local road block. They wanted bananas


Off to market

When the rains come the fields need ploughing

Heading to see the Murci people

Our lip lady








Leaving the village these guys pop out

Visiting the Ari village. Great bellows for blacksmithing

The girls did my hair! Don't think it's my look. The black facial marks are from the Mursi people 

Cooking injera


Another road block. We had the bananas ready this time

Sneaky photo of the local hair dressing salon

For sale at the market....for local use

Skirts! I don't want one


Necklace for the first wife (I don't want one John)


All heading to the market as we head out of town





Not sure what the gun is for....but chase those cattle off the road please




Heading south again



Squatter towns nearer the border. We were told they were from South Sudan

And back again in the desert in Kenya

Some of the locals



Oh the rain has started again....the desert is green

How many times have we crossed the Equator

A glimpse of Mt Kenya

We stop to get our firewood bag repaired

And back in Nairobi again
