We are at the Dreamland Hotel in Debre Zeyit. Zewedu picked us up at nine at the Red Cross. Quite a ride here, only about 40 kilometers from Addis, southeast, but a little over an hour driving. There was quite a bit of traffic in both directions. Big trucks were coming the other way from Djibouti which has ocean access. There was quite a bit of industry as well and most of the way was built up.
The hotel is quite nice and away from the main road through town so quiet. We've gone next door for both lunch and dinner and it's a lovely little restaurant that looks out on the lake. There's wireless most of the time. Who could ask for more?
