Easyopia

A wise man once said: "We must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy." That wise man was Albus Dumbledore...

In most cases I would like to think that I choose what is right, but sometimes the easy choice is just too convenient. So when I was faced with the two options of either applying for a new passport and then a new visa for Sudan which would take a lot of effort and very long time or just flying over and landing in Ethiopia, the easy option proved too tempting. 
It's strange because when I started planning this trip I always knew Sudan would be a nightmare of a place to travel through, but over time it had really become a nightmare I was looking forward to. So it is quite dissapointing how much damage this one Israeli stamp can cause and being a rather stubborn person I hate breaking my own rules and not achieving my goals, but then another wise man told me: "Goals are deceptive, an unaimed arrow never misses it's target." Actually I'm not sure who told me that, it may have been on the inside of a Mars-bar wrapper, but still.
Anyway we did take a flight from Cairo to Addis Ababa, and that's where we are now.
