To: Bahir-Dar

Sick.

Hoped I was better so tried to ride. Nope. Not better. Any slightest effort made me feel nauseous, so I was going sooooo slllowwwwwly. When the van came by that we rented just for Ethiopia, I got in. Hey! I just thought of something neat! Add another transport mode to the list. Van - tick!

Everybody camped halfway between Gondar and Bahir-Dar. I just decided to go straight to Bahir-Dar (by means of Ethiopian trucker - tick!) and check into a hotel.

Actually, not sure if "Ethiopian trucker" can be considered as a different mode of transportation from "Sudanese trucker". I'll let Chas make the ruling, since he has professional training in judgeship.
