Coffee, cultural sites and dusty roads - Ethiopia 1

I did not feel like going to Mallorca or Crete for a one week fam trip (Familarization Trip). So I decided to go to Ethiopia.

To take ahead it was worth to take such a long journey for just one week. A nice group, very friendly people, best coffe ever and so many beautiful things to see and do and I am not only talking of the women ;-)

The fam trip took place from 12-19 June 2016 with a group of 15 people and the general manager of a local dmc.


We visited the blue cities and their surroundings. Ethiopia is tree times bigger than France so in order not to lose to much time we flew a couple of times to make a little effort.

These cities are all more than 2200 meter above see level but still it is quite warm there. We were lucky with the weather it did rain in the evinings but not during day. Well in June rain season starts and ends in September. Let us hope there will be rain this year.

Ethiopa has around 99 Mio inhabitants and the most are christians (orthodox) The currency is Birr and the costs are ver low for us.

Ethiopia was never colonized allthough the Italians occupied the country during the second Italo-Ethiopian war (1935-1941).

Today Ethiopia is the home of many african organisations such as African Union or the econimic comission for africa because Ethiopia is very stable.
