Journey To Ethiopia & Zanzibar, Placeholder & Links, 16 February To 9 March 2006

We went to Ethiopia and Zanzibar in early 2006, using Ultimate Travel as our agents. Here is a link to our itinerary in glorious technicolour and detail.

I kept a detailed journal and shall Ogblog the whole adventure in some detail in the fullness of time. But for now, the itinerary above and photo album links below will have to suffice.

The photos are well labelled in those albums, so should serve as a pretty useful travel log in their own right.

Below are the links to all of the labelled photos, divided into half-a-dozen conveniently sized albums.

First up, Addis To Jinka:

01 Addis Ababa's Merkato Market is famous for its spices P2170002

The second set, below: The South Omo Valley. Possibly the most eye-catching photos, especially if you like tribal photography.

04 ...the breasts are most likely unaltered P2190042

Third up: Axum To Lalibela – below:

01 Kiddist Selasie (Holy Trinity) Cathedral 35M1_Photo33_2

001 After breakfast we mount our mules for the morning outing, aided by our mule teers and a worried-looking Dawit 140M4_Photo32_XA

Fifth up: Bahir Dar to Addis

01 We fly to Bahir Dar and our boat comes to our hotel to meet us P2270006

Last but not least – Zanzibar – below:

If you are crazy enough to want to wade through my hand-written journals before I transcribe/translate/write up from them, here they are in three batches:

Plenty more to follow.
