Day 91 – Wherever there's a castle, there are also wedding photos ......

Axum to Gonder - Goha Hotel

We flew out of Axum at a civilised time, and arrived in Gonder where we had to bargain hard to get a taxi the 23km into town. We checked into our hotel just in time for a lovely lunch - the Italian attempts to conquer Ethiopia appears to have left the country with some lovely pasta!


We had time to walk down the hill into the town and visit the Royal Enclosure (also known as Gonder Castle) with its many ruins. As it was Sunday there were a few wedding parties there getting their photos done. After wandering around for a while we headed back to out hotel with its lovely view and another bowl of pasta!
