Lalibela
Wir verbringen den ganzen Tag mit der Besichtigung der 11 mittelalterlichen aus dem Felsen geschlagenen Kirchen, die mit spärlich beleuchteten Tunneln und Gassen verbunden sind und immer wieder an verborgenen Krypten und Grotten vorbeiführen, die man in den roten, vulkanischen Felsen geschlagen hat, der sich unterhalb des Ortes befindet.
