| Simien Mountains, Ethiopia |
From Gondar it is possible to do a trekking tour in the Simien
Mountains. Some people go for several days, others just for a daytrip.
As it is rainy season now and I do not really like to camp on 3500
Meters altitute and being wet all time, I just went there for a daytrip,
which was perfectly fine for me. On the trip we were caught in a rain
storm. This was a rather poor turn of events. First, there was a little
bit of wind, about 2 minutes later more wind, another 2 minutes thunder,
and about 3 minutes later it started pouring down. This was really
crazy. I can not remeber, that I ever was so wet as on this day. And
soooooo cold.
Well, after that, we
were happy to be back in Gondar and reddy for a nice hot shower - but
this bad thunderstorm has disrupted the water supply of the
whole city. It even took two days for the water system to be under
control again! On top, the same evening, the electricity went off...
