Arriving at Jimma
It was a long and tiring flight To Jimma. I left Saterday in Antwerp at 4 PM ( CET +1 ) to arrive Sunday in Jimma at 12PM local time ( CET +3 )
I had to take two flights, from Brussels to Addis Ababa and from Addis to Jimma. The first flight made a stop in Paris, so that meant 9 hours of sitting at the plane seat. Once arrived in Addis, I had 5 hours to kill before I could board the plane to Jimma. At least, that's what I tought... When I checked in almost 4 hours later, I had to board immediately! Ow, I forgot about the hour difference :S I almost missed my plane! But I still got it and arrived in Jimma as planned.
I was picked up at the airport by a staff member of the Jimma University. The greeting was very warm, and so was the weather ;) I was dropped of at the Jimma Central Hotel, where I could check in and get some rest and prepare for my first day of training. I was exhausted, I slept 2 hours at most at the plane.
So I enjoyed the rest of my Sunday at the hotel, on the terrace, in the sun, next to the swimming pool! For those who wonder, it is indeed the complete opposite with the rest of the town, which is rather poor and misses lots of things we take for granted in Europe.
More to come soon!
