- Yesterday evening we found a place where they had meat. And pizza even !!!!
Havent had proper protein since Sudan ! We enjoyed the dinner immensely but the day after I did have to regret stuffing myself ;-)

Yet - without protein both the muscles are suffering as well as the adptation to the 2000 to 2500m altitude; no iron in the diet and no capacity to produce extra red bloodcells to transport the oxygen to the legmuscles.. !

NB: In Ethiopia gprs-service (global phone roaming service) is not yet avaliable for datatransmission. Therefore the Live-gps data cant be transmittet to the website as usual. It may first be avaliable in Kenya. Untill then traditional documentation is used: photo, logbook, video, wittness etc. !
