Things are looking up for my journey to Ethiopia.
And although I would like a month I now have the option of a 18-day (more expensive) or a 23-day (with 3 days in a tent and cheaper).
The 23-day will not visit Axum
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axum which is a pity as it is an historical important town.
The 18-day will visit some prehistoric sites as well, which I would like to see. There are two inland flights included.
Both don't visit the Islamic town of Harar.

And I just hope my mother.i.l (95) will be out of her plaster/ cast before I leave, and doing well.....one never knows at that age.
