The vehicle paperwork was done very easily for the bargain price of 1 dollar bill, not bad after being paying more than 100 us$ for most of the Middle East countries. Almost immediately after crossing the border we started to exceed in altitude. Most of Ethiopia lays over 2000 meters ASL and it will soon be time for pyjamas again, sigh...

We headed for Bahir Dar by lake Tana, where we'll visit the ancient monasteries on its islands.
