Yabello
Aaaaaa, the beautiful truck stop town of Yabello, our 'resort' for tonight and for tomorrow’s rest day. The showers are refreshing, the cokes freezing cold, the cows are in their pens so we are able to put our tents up and tomorrow is a rest day. To get here we climbed out of our bush camp this misty, cloudy, dewy morning, saying goodbye to perimeter camping and surprise, surprise the amount of people have dramatically decreased!
We headed into what seemed like the more 'rural' part of Ethiopia today: lots of camel and cow herds, women wearing brightly coloured beads and dresses (tied almost like saris), small clusters of villages with traditional mud huts and a severe lack of coke stops. It was great seeing the colours in the outfits that the women were wearing. The landscape has changed to rocky ridgelines, red soil, small dense brush, dry creek beds and a road full of more potholes than the ones in the Sudan. Of course it was up and down too! Yabello is a seriously tiny place. Our rest day seems as though it is going to be just that…a rest day! After the last few days... a well deserved rest day!
