A nice easy start to the day - we decided to go to the up-market Mountain View Hotel to see the view, have lunch and hopefully use some wireless internet. The view was impressive, the internet not working and after an hour we hadn’t received a drink or even a menu for lunch so we left and had lunch back at the Seven Olives.As our church tickets were valid for another three days, M headed off for another look at the churches, managing to navigate the tunnels without a guide this time and see the second group from a different vantage point to yesterday, and also get another set of photos of Bet Giyorgis. Meanwhile, K spent the afternoon doing some of her Spanish homework.
We watched the sun go down from the garden at Seven Olives, as people arrived from other hotels. As it wasn’t raining tonight, there were a lot more people dining, it was as if every farinja in Lalibela had come to Seven Olives. As a result we ran into a few people we’d met in other towns on our trip – tourists in Ethiopia pretty much traverse the same route within Ethiopia (Addis-Gonder-Lalibela-Axum) so it’s inevitable that you keep running into the same people!
