Good morning all sunbeams!!!
We are finally here in Entebbe, Africa, how cool!! We managed to catch the correct flight and the trip went without any major problems.
Earlier this morning we spent a few hours in Ethiopia's capital Addis Abeba. At first we sat at the airport but it was very boring, so we agreed on taking a walk through the city. It´s a really big city and full of people, even this early. Then we went to eat some breakfast, and accidentally ended up in front of a ice cream shop… So we ate ice cream as breakfast, hihi ;) When we sat there on a bench and ate our ice-cream suddenly, a big hairy monkey came from nowhere. It jumped up right next to AK and I have never heard her screaming so much before. The funniest thing was that the little monkey took her ice-cream and ran away. Later we googled the monkey and found out it was a Gelada monkey, they live in the mountains of Ethiopia, but sometimes a group of them get lost and end up in one of the cities.
The flight from Addis Abeba went well and we have just checked into the African Roots Guest House where we'll stay the next 7 days. I think the hotel feels very homey and cozy, and the guy in the reception doesn’t give the first impression any negative points either, because he is a very good-looking guy. The Internet connection seems to work well, yay, now you can expect pro uploading from this week in Entebbe! We have just checked in and will soon head out to discover the city. Central Entebbe is just 15 minutes away from our hotel, so I even think that we can take a walk, but maybe it's something I regret tomorrow. //Emma
