Ethiopia - Pictures

To get a local Ethiopian sim card for internet two passport photos and a copy of the passport was needed and also 3 hours of patience and peace of mind in addition to that. But thanks to all that there are more photos in this post.

In the Simien Mountains

A security guard or Scout came with to the mountains

3908 m. In this height the car stopped. Even while trying the first gear there was not enough power to get higher. Oxygen came to an end.

It seemed that this place will remain the highest having been reached. The view was powerful.

A camping site – Chennek Camp. Just before falling asleep I furtunately remembered that if to change the rear tires into smaller ones it could be possible to drive higher.

But the altitude disease was now really experienced because falling asleep was not succsessful at all. Previous night was spent on the height of 2000 m and this time it was 3500 m.

But the changeing of the tires really helped because the next day the height of 4000 metres was reached without any problem.

Bwahit Pass – the height of 4272 metres.
