First tropical storm of the coming rainy season in the night. Today in the morning I moved to Turmi – another little towship used by tribe people to buy necessary, limited supply. Based in the Green Hotel ( often no water or electricity, wi- fi from time to time, often broken) I took the excursion to the Omo River – 70 kms away through thre dry bush. Again by 4×4 car. Where we reached the new bridge on Omo it was necessary to report with the passport to the police post because you are entering frontier zone with Kenya and South Sudan.
OK – we intended to crossed the river by local canoe (attraction!) but no canoe available due to the high water and no motor for the motorboat too. aSo we went through the bridge. 1 kn nward there is a poor village of Dassenych tribe. They have colorful necklaces , but their houses changed in the 21st century – instead the grass on the roofs the use metal. sheets. Still interesting!
I had a hard time. Not only because the temperatures reaching 40 deg, but also beceuse Afro-belly I suffer. It happened when you try local food. Let’ s be optimistic!
