Long journey from Glasgow to Lilongwe, but I'm here safely. Addis Ababa Airport was a bit of a nightmare, poor signage, busy, all nationalities travelling Africa. Noticed the flights to Dubai and Amman were cancelled. On the plus side I got a glimpse of my bike being unloaded from plane, reassuring. Flight to Malawi not full so had no one sitting next to me, tired. Eventually navigated passport/visa control and when I reached baggage arrival there was my bike box 👏👏and bag waiting for me. A very helpful porter, for a tip, was looking out for me. Thank goodness as the push was up ramps and I couldn't have done that. My ordered, large taxi, was waiting to transport me to Woodlands. The box has taken a bit of a mauling, top and bottom, slit open, I think by customs and not sealed properly. Anyway, I always carry tape and porter and I quickly sealed it up. It's roasting, shorts and t-shirt on, showered and been for a stroll. The photos show porter making light work of bike box and accommodation before I camp. Also, one of the many departure boards at Addis Ababa.
