mr. warthog
After Lisa, Kathy, and Luke returned from Lalibela, we spent an evening in Addis and then all headed down to Lake Langano early the next morning.
Luke rented a Suzuki Vittaro for the trip (much to Bluebell’s relief). It took us nearly an hour just to get out of Addis! There are only a few roads out of the city and they are always clogged with trucks, cars, people, cows, etc. We were all glad when the road (and the air!) finally cleared. After driving about 250 kilometers, we turned off the paved main road and drove for another 20k on the dirt road. This was not just any dirt road, however. This dirt road had several big mud puddles that almost bogged down the Suzuki, despite the 4WD! Thanks to Luke’s driving skills we pulled through and arrived Bishangari Lodge safe and sound. At the lodge we were greeted by peace, quiet…and a warthog family!
We spent the evening wading in Lake Langano (which is clean and parasite-free due to volcanic minerals) and relaxing.
