Back to Axum
We were in Addis for the return of the second part of the obelisk. Apparently, everything went well. Today, we are flying back to Axum to be there in time for the expected return of the third and final piece on Monday.
We have been told that this will be the big official return, with a welcome from the prime minister at the airport and a triumphal parade of all three pieces through the centre of Axum.
