The Eastern Route was absolutely stunning, and I enjoyed every second of it. I can see why many say it's the highlight of East Africa for them.
It was great being so alone and remote again, like Namibia.
Stamping into Ethiopia in Omorate was simple and took 10 minutes. 60 day TIP issued for free. (I don't have a Carnet)
I drove 580km from the last gas pumps on the A2 in Kenya (location in iOverlander) to Omorate in Ethiopia where you can buy gas and diesel from barrels. From there it's another 200km to Jinka, the first place to have "real" gas and diesel pumps.
Have fun to those who follow!
