My 3 day Simien Mountain trek was absolutely amazing. It was more difficult that what i thought I was signing up for. Especially the 8 hour trek on the last day, walking uphill for almost 2 hours, and then back down the other side. It was so steep I had to crawl on my bum to get down some parts. The altitude made me loose my breathe pretty quickly. However this all added to the feeling of accomplishment when I reach the camps.
We had mules to carry our packs and on the second day I joked "where is the beer mule" and to my surprise there was actually crates of beer at the camp site. So we all enjoyed a couple of St Georges and watched the sunset from a beautiful spot.
My trekking group was amazing. One of the best parts about travelling is meeting other people. Eric was an American guy who had been to nearly every single country, so it was great hearing his stories and inspiring my future trips.
There was a New Zealand couple as well, so there was a lot of "you're a convict/you're a sheep shagger" banter happening. Also the Italian babe who added to the beautiful scenery. What a hot piece of ass.
Unfortunately did not spot the Ethiopian Wolf, only 60 left so would have been great to see one. However did see the geleda baboon and got some amazing pictures!
By the 4th morning I was pretty knackered and so dirty. I wore long pants the whole time but my legs were cover with dust.
Such an awesome experience for my first trek, can't wait to go on more trekking adventures!
