| Castles of Gondar, Ethiopia |
Then it was done and I was officially in Ethiopia. Just a few
minutes later a minibus to Gondar left.
I reached Gondar in the early afternoon. Gondar was in former times
the capital of Ethiopia and there are several castles from the 16.-18
century. The landscape is pretty green, so one could just think to be
somewhere in Scotland with all the castles around. Gondar also gets its
share of rain and it can become very cold at an altitude of 2200
metres.... This is the first bigger town you reach after coming from Sudan.

At the border, it is still pretty flat
country, but soon afterwards, the road goes into the mountains.

It
becomes
greener and greener, there are trees, some even with leaves! Grass is
also available, and so, there are more and more cows looking better than
one the other side of the border, will see, you could not count the
ribs on the cows...
