7 May 2011 Saturday Arba Minch
We wake up curious to know what it looks like where we are camping as it was dark when we arrived last night. Our campsite is on a plato with a stunning panoramic view over the Rift Valley and 2 large lakes far below us. We soon have a few baboon guests very interested in Sammie’s movements andSammie cannot believe what he is seeing. We have to keep a close watch on him, because the baboons sit around ready to run over and grab what they can put
their hands on. Willie took great pictures of the sunrise, baboons and birds. See gallery: Arba Minch
Andrej wakes up, looking very pale, weak and washed out. He did
not throw up again and we decide to take it easy to give him a chance to
replenish fluids and recover. We drive down to the town to see if we can find a market where we can buy food. The prices of pasta and tuna are ridiculous and it is not worth trying to cook our own food. It is far cheaper to eat in a local restaurant, but now we have 2 non-Ethiopian-food partakers and in a town this small we are not going to find any Western food. Hugo enquires from several restaurants and they only have Ethiopian food. We decide we will eat at the hotel’s restaurant as it is the only place that serves ‘normal’ food, although it is pricier.
Andrej gradually feels better, but one can see he is far from well, yet. We are still not sure what has caused this? I know one thing –I’ve never seen anyone expel poison from his body as violently as what happened to Andrej.
