22/09/2009, Addis Adeba: Vehicle repairs and day of catching up

After discussions with March the day before we headed out around 8am back to the Toyota specialist. Once again they were very helpful and this time we spoke directly with owner/director. He took the Beast for a test drive and picked up very quickly the problems that we had picked up. His knowledge on Landcruisers was obvious based on what he told us and we felt confident he could get the job done. He also we kind enough to help us with finding new accommodation and we ended staying at the Bel Air "hotel" a couple hundred meters from the workshop! Also the price was really good at 100 birr per room with Simon sleeping on the floor.

After some breakfast Deon and Taryn joined us and then they, along with Simon, went sight-seeing, choosing to walk instead of drive. I chose to stay at the hotel to catch up on my blogs and ended up finishing 9 days! During the day I started feeling a little dizzy and light-headed but nothing too bad. At 5:25pm while i was working there was a loud bang that shook the room. I stepped outside my room to investigate as did the employees. We noticed that the front tyre of one of the cars had exploded!

The others came back in the evening having visited amongst other things a "hotspring" at a hotel. It turned out that after waiting 45min for their turn that hotspring was simply a hot water shower, leaving them very disappointed. For supper i had another meat dish and then headed to bed not feeling well at all
