Hey guys! Been busy travelling hence my silence. I recently visited Addis Ababa, Ethiopia for work , which was exciting as I have always wanted to visit this beautiful country.
I stayed at the lovely Saro-Maria Hotel, which is conveniently 10 minutes away from the airport. I was caught up with work but managed to meet a few friends and visit the museum while I was there. Just a few pictures.
The famous Lucy.
Stunning pencil portraits of the early man.

For all coffee lovers out there, you have to buy Ethiopian coffee!
Delectable treats....
I love collecting postcards whenever I travel and I love those that portray women doing everyday activities. The one below was my favourite.
Top 5 Suggestions:
1. Visit the National Museum, Entoto Hill {or any other historical/ cultural site}
2. Enjoy their local cuisine {Wat with injera etc.}
3. Shop in the local markets {For traditional woven cotton fabrics, outfits, scarves etc.}
4. Visit a coffee house and get to sample different varieties of coffee.
5. Buy a souvenir! {E.g. fridge magnets, postcards etc.}
Have a productive week ahead!
