Hi all, new video below (self explanatory) instead of a written entry.  I'm feeling very lazy today, and loving it.
And have also added some photos to the new Ethiopia page from my walk around Fasil Ghebbi castle in Gondar this morning.  It was incredible, and like many of the sites i've been to throughout Africa so far, I effectively had the place to myself.  
I'm feeling 100% better and actually looking forward to riding tomorrow.  I've literally stuffed myself stupid with (good, healthy) food today, so am currently laying down ready for a siesta before heading out to eat again.  I stumbled across some scales and weighed myself before and have lost 8kgs in the last 4 weeks.  I need more of the famous morning teas that my work team are renowned for...!!
