Rise at 5:30. out the door and walk / minibus to Marketo via bus
station. Boys playing A-grade soccer on asphalt which I watch for some time. Marketo closed Sunday, bummer. Walk back via piazza then water and cake, no coffee as power still out.
Meet Japi & Tim then flying visit to Royal Compound for 16th century castles, then taxi via hotel and airport. Gonder airport is great, very Canarvon (WA) 1970's. Coffee upstairs and load plane. Fokker 50. Bumpy ride home via Bahir Dar.
Back into Addis surrealness. Ice cream in Bole then Kbana to drop stuff then straight to Sheraton for 100% western mod-cons, Massage, pool, food.
Home then out to Piazza for drinks at Big Tree. Get hassled a zillion times by guys trying to get money, any way possible - hellishly annoying.
Big tree may just turn out to be a kind of cat house, have suspicions.
This place is weird.
Late night farewells.
