Our plan was to go to Shashamane, a city which is supposed
to be a very relaxed nice place close to large lakes and some sites in the
nature and also home to Ethiopia’ Rastafarian community. We arrived there by
local bus in the evening but Shashamane did not show its nice side to us. We
could not prevent beeing “guided”, so two guys brought us to a hotel. But as we
found out a little later that it was not the one we wanted to go to. Their
“service” took them around 10 minutes and they wanted too much money for that.
Not that alone, but the demanding and unfriendy and rather agressive habit in
which they treated us made the situation very uncomfortable. And also the owner
of the hotel tried to convince us to give them more money which I found very
unappropriete as well.
A little later we realised that they had not even brought us
to the right hotel. The place we were stranded now turned out to have neither
light nor running water. The whole situation and our own stupidity of course
annoyed us so much that we decided not to give that city a second chance. We
left in the early morning before dawn and took the bus to Arba Minch a city
further down in the south.
Early the next morning we took a minibus to Sodo (100 Birr)
and then changed on a bus to Arba Minch (75 Birr), where we arrived in the
afternoon.
