Eugene and I were keen to explore part of the city on foot and used an IPad app named City Walks to find a suitable walk embracing some of the sights close to Bole. Within a hundred meters of the house we turned right instead of left and ended up on the Ring Road instead of on Bole Road. Luckily we had borrowed Pat's iPhone and could use the map function to get home again. Very few streets display names. Once we were in the vicinity of the Medhane Alem Cathedral we relaxed and went for a beer at the Addis London restaurant.
We walked around the outside of the cathedral but all doors were closed.
From there we went to Peacock Park which was disappointing and then managed to find our way back to the house thanks to Eugene and the phone.
Bole road has been completely dug up close to the house and the traffic is chaotic.
A new flyover is being built.
Come back in 5 years!
