Ethiopia Daily Budget

To be honest people go over board about seeing everything and end up seeing things for the sake of seeing them ,When ever i go to a country i will see some sites but then relax in the one place and mingle and get to know an area properly . Travelling is as much about who you meet than how many museums you see .I rather see a few sights in the day and have a nice meal and a few beers at night .

I plan on going to Ethiopia later in the year on two weeks off work and probably will not see anything too far from Addis addiab as i believe that will be enough for me to experience in my first trip and it will be more enjoyable for me than chasing around places ticking things of my list just to say I have been somewhere .

Oh, so close! But you don't get full points unless you answer a full year after the last post! ;-)

Agreed, but I highly suggest getting out of Addis. And you really need to have a talk with this guy: http://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/thread.jspa?threadID=1901000

Hmmm...error link, Bri! Must fix, enquiring minds over here!

Can't imagine staying two weeks in Addis while on vacation. If you don't want to move around, why not go somewhere else first and then spend the entire two weeks there? Especially since you mention mingling...except in rare cases, I find it difficult to mingle with anyone but other tourists in large cities.

Hi Nancy. The link was to a thread about a guy who is trying to collect the most countries in the world. I am guessing that the thread was pulled because several ABTT members flagged it for advertising.

Peace,
