Addis
We made it from Sudan to Ethiopia, after sitting in the airport for
about 4 hours, not really sure what was going on. Finally one guy
from the airlines came over... "you see, we have big problem. My
company is not allowed to buy fuel in Sudan... But we have spoken
with our office and they will allow us... but the airport will not
sell us fuel... they want cash, and it is a lot of money... but we
have spoken to the manager (he was at home sleeping with his wife),
and we are fueling the plane and will leave shortly."
How can you be mad with a story like that!
