Thanks to Lamesgn and Abere. They made my visit to Addis Abeba and specially to the Mercator Market memorable. I was very interested in Coffee roasting and I loved to have the opportunity of tasting it as well. I am thankful I had a layover for some hours and could do this Tour with Lamesgn and Abere.
