    I love this Afar content! I've spent several months there researching the geology while camping in the desert with the locals, and I can't wait to get back. It's such an amazing drive from Addis to Semera, the Afar definitely has a piece of my heart. It's truly a wild place!

    Africa is awesome m8! Ethiopia one of my favs places! Food, people, culture? Lucy hotel hey! Do u know why many hotels in Ethiopia ( specialy the afar triangle) are named? Well, there is a very famous skeleton from an asthralopitecus, discovered in the 70’s in the afar triangle in Ethiopia. Huge discovery to track back who we are and where we come from. When archeologists discover her, they where listening to “ Lucy in the sky of diamonds “ by the Beatles. There fore the name. I had the honor of seeing lucy in a museum in Seattle some years ago! There u go! Nice vid m8

    We hit a heat index of 50 degrees celcius one year, and me and my brother had to work on our roof, it was a do or die situation, because rain was coming and we needed to shingle our roof because our house caught on fire and we had to replace the whole roof, anyways I almost got a heat stroke, my nose started bleeding and wouldn't quit for two weeks, made me think it was the fiberglass in the insulation and shingles, because after we finished it went away, damn that was the hardest work I ever did in my life and I think it took a toll on me.

The same thing happened when i took the bus to dover to go to paris. Shit happens everywhere (not only in Africa😅). That said, you're one though traveler to go through Ethiopia at this time. Would be glad to buy you a pint or two if you're in Addis.

      @@BackpackerBen Totally, at the tarmac level there are periods where you can measure up to 55 degrees C. Now that's too much, you can't last for hours wondering the streets, it's exhausting. However, bear in mind that not all heats are equal. Major key is humidity. If it's low, you can take it fairly well, but if it's humid (75% +), like I believe it is where you are...it's a nightmare. Humidity is the key.

      - ruftana hotel means ( comfortable place )
      - kurfta hotel means ( peace and comfort place in English)
      - Aramis hotel you will get this hotel when you enter semera city it is affordable place to stay there

    Ben, it looks like you are going to melt in Afar😂. You could have flown to Semera and save yoursel the pain of the road to Semera. As well, I think you cheaped out on the hotel. There are tons of better hotels in Semera. Up the star please:-) Looking forward to the rest of your time in Semera. At least they have a functioning traffic lights unlike Addis😂
