MEET, EAT, FLY, HAILE GEBRE SELASSIE (I know it should really rhyme with repeat but we're too tired to be that clever)

Finally the 3 Yorkshire water and 2 Water Aid travellers met up in the food court in Heathrow and managed to get on the plane in time.  A pretty uneventful overnight flight with very little sleep left us all exhausted on arrival at Addis Ababa International Airport.  However Exhaustion turned to excitement whilst standing in the customs queue when we spotted a familiar face.  A bit of delving through the old grey matter brought the realisation that we were only stood looking at one of the greatest atheletes and Olympians of our time.  There smiling and waving acrosss at us was Haile Gabre Selassie.  We thought that was going to be it but fortunately we met up again in the baggage reclaim and this time the photo opportunity was not missed.  Hopefully we will manage to sort out the IT issue and get the photos on the next blog.  (Apparently Dave didn't want his persoal SD card encrypting in line with YW security).

Just sat having a nice cup of Ethiopian Coffee waiting for Tefri, the country Rep to take us to Water Aid Office where we will be meeting the ministry of Water and Energy.
