From Lagos to Ethiopia: A Travel Blogger’s Journey into the Heart of East Africa”
Embarking on a travel adventure from Lagos to Ethiopia was a journey filled with surprises, cultural richness, and unique experiences. Join me as I share the tales of my stay, from the chilly landscapes of Ethiopia to the stark contrasts at the airports.
Touching down in Ethiopia felt like entering a chilly wonderland. Everyone was bundled up in jackets and cardigans. My cozy hotel became a warm haven against the cold air outside. I didn’t know Ethiopia was a really cold place. Ethiopia’s weather was a delightful surprise, challenging my preconceptions and adding an extra layer of charm to my stay.
When it was time to bid farewell to Ethiopia, the airport presented a tranquil and serene environment. Unlike the bustling airports in Nigeria. I got there early, and guess what? It was almost empty, the Ethiopian departure lounge was dry and empty, with only a handful of fellow travelers. It was a stark contrast to the lively scenes I was accustomed to back home.
Beyond the Airport: Ethiopia’s Cool Stuff:
Ethiopia isn’t just about airports; it’s a cultural playground. Addis Ababa, the capital, has ancient museums with stuff that’s been around for ages. Lalibela’s Rock-Hewn Churches are mind-blowing – they’re literally carved from rocks! Talk about a blast from the past.
Eating in Ethiopia: An Adventure:
Let’s talk food! Ethiopia’s got this flatbread called Injera, and it’s a game-changer. They serve it with tasty stews that make your taste buds dance. And don’t miss the coffee ceremony – it’s like a party for your taste buds.
What makes Ethiopia extra special? Its people! With over 80 different groups, Ethiopia celebrates diversity like no other. From colorful traditions to unique festivals, the Omo Valley showcases the beauty of Ethiopian culture.
Conclusion:
My journey from Lagos to Ethiopia was a wild ride. From chilly surprises to quiet airports and cultural wonders, Ethiopia left its mark. It’s a country of contrasts and cool vibes, and I can’t wait to visit again.
