I’m popping off to Ethiopia, but enjoy a riveting spring

Damien Enright is heading off to roam the highlands and lowlands of Ethopia but not before he leaves you with some springtime inspiration.

It seems that, by the time you read this column, I’ll be in the Ethiopian highlands or lowlands, maybe in the Rift Valley. I have no special plans or itinerary. I’ve never been in Ethiopia before.

It’s very high above sea-level and I hope my ears don’t keep popping all the time. They have a tendency to do, even in La Gomera, where the highest point is only 1,4870m.
