Day 25 Yebelo to Omaret
Well we set off early on our alternative route to the Moyale to Isiola section. The road was surprisingly good with some spectacular scenery. It was probably the best days riding we’ve had on the trip.
Punctures were the order of the day. Mark now leads 3:2 and Justin has escaped any so far.
We arrived at the Omo River and to our surprise there was a customs post. Our custo9mks document had Moyale listed as the departure poi8nt which then caused chaos with the idiot officer. He then phoned Addis, Mark begged, Justin offered a bribe and the result is now holed up for the night and will only get cleared tomorrow at 8.
We’re camped on the banks of the river which is about 400m wider. We’re going to have to manhandle the bikes into a small boat. The bank is quite high so it could be interesting.
We’re now off to supper in the village- it could be interesting. Hopefully the beers are cold.
Later.
