Day 74, 2011/07/14


Awake to grey skies and rain. At least I am not camping, and do not need to pack up a tent. We have decided to visit a lovely overland site called Kim and Tim's next to Gorgona. It sonly 65 km from town so, a reallyshort trip today. Theroad is however dirt, and i am a little concerned following the rain the last 12 hours. However,I am willing to give it a bash. It turns out to be not nearly as bad as i predict. Only a couple of very short stretches are whist call 'snoty'. The rest is. Lovely, smooth dirt road. Kim and Tim's tunes out to be really lovely. The type of quality you would expect from a venue in South Africa. Lovely, clean a tiredly. A pleasant change from the run down places you find all over Ethiopia. With rain threatening, I decide to sleep in one of their incomplete rooms, while Dve and Naomi decide to camp. In the campsite, we meet an Italian couple,with their lovelytwo kids. Luca, and his wife, are trying to overland to Pakistan, with not much luck.all the borders appear to be closing before them,so they are resorting to a grey long way round to get there. They are a really an amazing source of information. Being experienced overlanders, they have an endless supply of info abbot where we are going. A little later, a German couple also arrive, they are on their way Southand have just come from Sudan. I manage to catch up on some journalling.
