You see, you have spun this so well up to now, but when you have been challenged, you haven't really been convincing in backing up your theme of "adventure but no problems" throughout your posts. "A bit of forward planning"? Haven't you followed the tenor of this thread -- there has been almost no forward planning, so what can possibly be expected when getting there?
And I'm sorry, but I found your response to chromedome as to be particularly presumptuous to the point of rudeness. And in four years you have met seven cyclists who have ridden the places you discuss. Any chance *any* of them were women travelling by themselves?
What's difficult about Ethiopia? Look at a map - mountains. Mountains, very rough roads, bad food and kids that chuck rocks. The Blue Nile Gorge.
You're spotting holes in my "story"? What story is that then? You're saying I didn't actually do what I am Saying I've done. Think what you like mate. Everything I've claimed to have done I have actually done so can't see where these holes would be appearing other than in your imagination.
