Lalibella and its rock churches

St George Church, Lalibella, Ethiopia
The tourist highlight of all Ethiopia is Lalibella and it's 11 rock churches. The rock churches are cut out of the  rock  - this mean, that all rock, which is not needed, is removed, so finally, there is only the rock you need for the church. Moreover, the churches are connected by a whole series of ways, tunnels and bridges with each other. More than just once I had a kind of Indiana Jones Feeling looking for the holy Gral or whatever.....
