Ethiopia - Addis Ababa


We made it to Addis Ababa, headed to the Piazza section of town and finally found the Taitu hotel.  It felt nice to be in a big city again, surrounded by noise, people and lots of food!  Shell and I took a stroll around to try and find our bearings (not easy) and filled our boots with some western food.

We took a trip to the Immigration Department as we had to renew our Visas.  The process was quick and easy although we did have to return the following day to collect our passports.
With a few spare days up our sleeves we took it fairly easy in Addis, eating well, drinking some beers, using the internet etc.
 
On Saturday morning we visited the National Museum, which was small and interesting and allowed us to see the 3.5 million year old skeleton of a female, called ‘Lucy’.
