  Sharing an injera
by SirRichard
 
 

Travelling by bus in Ethiopia lets you enjoy the landscapes and know some local people. Long distance buses (6-12 hours) stop just once for lunch (except the 2-3 pissing stops). At those stops there is only very basic local restaurants. Expect nothing but injera there, or maybe some biscuits and water in the street stalls.
In the pic you can see me sharing a lunch with my bus mate and his family.When the bus stopped they took me to the restaurant and shared their food with me. It was a giant inhera (fasting food) that I shared with his mother and brothers. I invited them at the end. Inviting in Ethiopia is a pleasure, as the whole meal was about 4 USD for all of us!!
