ANCIENT LAKE MONASTERY AND TRAVELLING COMPANIONS

Inside Ura Kidane Maret monastery on Lake Tana

We’re moving quickly and this is the first chance I’ve had to access the internet so I thought I’d post a few pictures.

Here’s one I quite like (above) from an ancient lake monastery a days drive and a 15 minutes boat ride from the country’s capital, Addis Ababa.

And here’s a candid snap of the team – Daniel, my guide, and Getu, our driver – both a delight to travel with –  sharing a tea at a corner cafe overlooking the bastions of the castle of Gondor, referred to as the “Camelot of Ethiopia” (though, as the guidebooks point out, it really does exist).

Next Stop: The rock-hewn churches.
