Whether you consider our flight from London to Addis Ababa \u201cgood\u201d probably depends on your ability to cat-nap. 8 hour flight; drinks served after 1 hour (over Germany), dinner after 3 (over Greece), lights on for breakfast 90 minutes before an early arrival (over Sudan).

After lunch Joe\u2019s brother Martin and friend Lucky took us for a walk to view the creek.<\/p>\n
