We left Awassa knowing that we will not be staying at another place like it in a long time. We continued on the somewhat nice roads though many villages and hills, and stopped briefly for some pictures and dates.
When we arrived at the crossroads to Yabello we noticed a nice hotel on the road, Ali went to ask about their prices while I continued and asked some of the locals who stated that there was a motel nearby but when I asked which had the better accommodations it was the Hotel.
There were many mosquitos so we had to use our bug repellent to make sure we were not bitten to death.
