(^12) Muka – Fiche – 38 km
Even though Fiche (situated at an altitude of 2,780 metres above sea
level) was only 38 kilometres further, my backside wasn't used to
cycling, and it was best to make the ride a short one.
As expected, Ethiopians were fascinated by us. The children called,
"You, you, give money!" and, if ignored, stones came flying. Yes, kids
did throw stones at cyclists, but I don’t think the act was ever
intended to hurt but more a way of getting a person's attention.
These kids are pretty good at aiming; they wouldn't have missed if
they wanted to hit you. It’s, however, a habit that remains highly
annoying.
