Help -Ethiopian Customs Trouble...
Hello
Im in Addis, planning to head to Sudan in the next 3 weeks. I got here from Kenya via the E shore of Lake Turkana (a route that i will recommend to anyone, rough, but amazing!!). Trouble is that though there is now an immigration office in Omoratea there is nowhere to sort out Custom for teh bike. For the last 5 days i have been trying to get the necessary paperwork out of the Addis Customs people, its not happy work when you no speak Americ.
Soon i will turn to violence... or at least crying.
My question is: What will happen if i arrive at the Ethiopia / Sudan border without any Import documents? Apparently Ethiop doesnt recognise Carnets, the vacant stares of Customs officers in Addis seem to confirm this.
Thought and condolences appreciated.
