I was baked out of my tent this morning, due to the heat, there is no possible way to sleep in with this kind of heat. I was also on breakfast duty, a few people managed to sleep in, so I didn't have to cook for many people. I managed to get some hair dye the day before and Kristel said she would do my hair for me. It wasn't as hard as I thought, dying hair while camping. At a few points during the process I thought my hair was going to end up purple. That would...

We left our camp this morning and drove for about two hours and visited a school, all the kids were out playing and as soon as they saw us they immediately surrounded the truck yelling "Give me one birr!" We went and had a quick look at their class rooms and played with them for a bit before heading off to visit our last tribe.

I woke up this morning to the sound of bells, I looked out of my tent and discovered that Siobhan and I were surrounded by cows.

I could see them all perfectly well from there anyway. After the Hammer tribe we stopped in the middle ...

More bumpy roads as we left Konzo and headed into the Omo Valley today. We drove for about five hours before we reached the first tribe. It was a pretty awful experience, all they wanted was money. They surrounded us asking for 2 birr per photo we took of them. We didn't last long there, one girl yelled in Sarah's face and another girl slapped Rachel. Daster asked Rachel to point out the girl that slapped her, but she wouldn't because the rest of the tribe were g...
