The Final Countdown 2 - 1

2 days to go! I've been in a state of wonder of what our travels hold for us when we touchdown in the Capitol of Ethiopia, will we travel North or South first, will be spend our initial days in Addis Ababa? until last nightWe received an email from  Samuel, owner of Keffa Coffee (http://www.keffacoffee.com).  Samuel has been an awesome contact for us and it turns out will be more than that.  In the email we received there is a rough draft of our travel itinerary which includes:

Saturday - pick up from airport, check into hotel, lunch and time in Addis Ababa

Sunday - Museums and time around Addis Ababa

Monday thru Friday - Northern travel by car to Lalibela, Gondar Castle, Simien Mountains, and to a city called Axum where it is said the Ark of the Covenant may be.

Friday night - Return to Addis Ababa

Saturday thru Tuesday - Southern travel by car to the Yirgacheffe and Sidamo regions to visit the coffee farms, cup coffee, help harvest (hopefully), enjoy lunch and dinner with the farmers, and day trips to explore the area

Wednesday - Return to Addis Ababa and go to an auction, cup more coffee and roam around

Thursday thru Saturday - Cup coffee and the rest is for....

Saturday night thru Sunday - get on a plane and begin our journey home


Can't wait to get there and when we're there, I hope time slows.
