The Blue Nile, Lake Tana, Lalibela, Gonder and the Simiens - that's where we've been and what we've seen, we'll let the pictures tell you the story!
Currently we are in Sudan,
where we can’t take pics as you need a special permit which requires much
paperwork – so you’ll have to come and see it for yourselves. More news about
this fascinating and friendly place in about a week or so, when we’re really
dirty after at least 5 days of bush camping!
