1 to 10, over and over and over and over....
So here it is merry Christmas everybody's having fun......except that isn't quite true as due to the Ethiopian calendar it's 16/04/2005 and Christmas isn't for another 13 days. As a result we are volunteering in school for the whole of this week which, in fairness, it out of choice and better than festering in hotel lamenting the loss of turkey and associated trimmings with absolutely nothing going on in the town.

We will have been at the school for a month by the end of the week and it's been a great experience which has allowed us to understand Ethiopia a little better as well as meet some very funny children and recover from the two months on the road. We are ready to roll now though and have our sights firmly set on the Kenyan border which we hope to be across in the next 14ish days. Then it's the big push round lake Victoria hopefully visiting Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania.

NB, All the photos on this blog were taken today (Xmas day).

Much Christmas joy and love to all C&A. x x x
