After reaching the Ethiopian-Kenyan border we were bussed back to Addis Abeba in two days. From there the Tour-riders left to several destinations across Africa, like: Uganda, Lake Tanganyika, Lalibella, (Ethiopia), Rwanda, Arusha.
Together with a group of TdA-riders I traveled to Zanzibar, an island of the coast of Tanzania. We had to make a stop-over in Nairobi, and because of a delay we missed the flight to Zanzibar. Kenyan Airways offered us a night in a 5-star hotel in Nairobi, so we could travel on the next morning. Paradox: because we try to avoid Kenya, we had to spend the night in Nairobi.
We’re now in Zanzibar, a real seaside resort, with a lot of tourism. Normally a great place to be, but if your objective is to ride your bike from Cairo to Capetown, it somehow doesn’t feel right. I want to be on my bike, not lay on the beach.
Anyway, it is a good opportunity to let the body get some rest.
