Castles...in Ethiopia?
Today has some serious history packed into it. We will be exploring the royal compound (home of King Fasilada), the Debra Berhan Selassie Church, King Fasilada's bath, Empress Metewab's castle complex. Won't go into much detail. If you're interested, check out a tour book! Arriving at our hotel (on the highest peak in town) we have a fantastic view …
Fasilidas Castle - Gondar
We were off this morning at 8 am. I was happy that I was able to take a photo of the papyrus boat on the hotel grounds before we left. Aga had told me about seeing it on the side of the hotel entrance.
The drive to Gondar was very much appreciated by all it seems. We drove on a good road through 3 hours or so of farmland: tef, wheat …
Epic Climb - Stage 23
This morning we climbed. At the 19km mark we started the epic climb and continued upwards seemingly without end. Just when you thought you had reached the top you would see the switchbacks continue even higher. By 33km after almost 4 hours we had reached the summit. There was a further 27km of mostly descent to lunch.

To be honest I was actually a little apprehensive. It was an overland tour ( …

TravelPod Member ReviewsGoha Hotel Gonder
This place sits on top of the hill and commands a great view of the surrounding town. We scored a free upgrade, so fortunately didn't have to fork out the cash. Food portions were quite small for the price you pay (by Ehtiopian standards), but relatively inexpensive by western standards. Rooms were clean and generally well kept. Location was the real drawcard.
