  It's a lot hotter than the Exodus information sheet suggests!

  A land of dignity and beauty

  

  Written September 2007

  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  No question but that the group was well lled and the group itself made up of very sympathetic people. Curious how tourists in Ethiopia tend to be older (on average) than elsewhere. The land itself is poor and there are no obviously great sights, but the friendly dignity of the people and their extraordinary beauty made this a unique experience for me. Very little pestering or begging either. Felt if anything guilty that I couldn't do more than subscribe to eye-care in Ethiopia afterwards - still can't quite believe that 20% of population are blind. Found wedding-cakes of Hilton and Sheraton in Addis brought out the communist in me!

  What did you think of your group leader?

  Both Derek & perhaps especially Gebre were exceptionally good.

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  Take small, portable gifts - biros, balloons (for kids), any 'safe' medicines like aspirin - but don't make a big thing of giving. Only give money to blind beggars. Watch your step for conmen in Axum. Agree taxi prices in advance in Addis, and don't go downtown alone after dark!  Though it all seemed pretty safe to me. Get all the usual injections up to date, and do take malaria tabs. Local food terrific but very spicy & can lead to trots. European food on average bland but OK like good quality school dinners. Local beer excellent - I found St George the best. If you learn just a bit of Amharic. you'll be amazed at the doors it opens.

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  No - just thanks for another great trip - you already have my few reservations sent at the end of it.
