Borana and tegamino 16/03/10

We had a bit of a fight with the manager of the hotel, the reason was that he did not deliver even a quarter of the service, the food and the quality we paid for and he told us the evening before.

Still he wanted us to pay full, a complete crook. Disgusting.

Anyway we started from Konso towards Awassa, close to Yabello we met lot of Borana women with their beautiful metal bracelets and elbow rings

. They are more dressed then other tribes and wear many beautiful colours. Open and proud people, they showed us their things and jewels and explained a bit of their traditions with all the difficulties of a huge language barrier. It was a brief but good experience

.

The long way to Awassa was quite boring, we stopped midway for lunch and that was the highlight, tegamino (based on beans and chillies) and njera, the best food of trip.
