| early morning huddle |
A very civilised start time of 9am gave time for an early morning jaunt to the weekly market. I was expecting big crowds for the last Saturday before christmas (7 Jan) however it was still really just setting up.
The crowds were back at St George's though, for some reason Friday seemed to be a day off for the pilgrims visiting church.

The run of bad luck with the truck continued after just 10 minutes with a fuel leak spotted. Luckily we were next to a garage so we were back on the road with just a 90 minute delay.

We retraced our path from 3 days previous out through dirt paths & after setting a course for Bahir Dar just a few minutes later met another drago truck coming the other way. I'm pretty sure Christie is the same truck I was on in 2007, my only other trip with Drago in Africa. They are doing our trip in reverse so we exchanged a few tips before setting up for lunch. Our extra week of training shone through as we'd all finished lunch as they were about to start.
