One of the drivers explains he fell asleep at the wheel and crashed his truck into another vehicle. Police arrive and are more interested in the bikes than the accident scene. The head of police takes a fancy to Ewan's bike and decides to take it for a test ride much to Ewan's horror. As the boys head towards the Ethiopian border they get very excited when they see monkeys in the wild for the first time. Reaching the border into Ethiopia, the team is stopped at customs and made to camp over night in the compound so a thorough inspection can be carried out on all vehicles. Overnight an enormous thunderstorm hits and the team has to get to sleep with the sound of rain plummeting against their tents. Eventually making it to the UNICEF project in Ethiopia, Ewan and Charley see the remarkable work done at the landmine awareness project. Ewan picks himself back up after a number of falls. Making it to Addis Ababa for their well earned break, the boys are looking forward to recuperating with a couple of days off. With the mood reaching an all time low the boys do some soul searching and decide this trip of a lifetime is well worth continuing. They head towards Shashemene to meet the Rastafarian's of Ethiopia.
