Day 11 Chenek to Bwahit Ras
Estimated Travel Time: 4-5 hours hiking, 3 hours driving ; Approximate Distance: 10 km hiking, 58 km driving.
The guys who had something to prove went up the mountain of Bwahit Ras (4430m). Me and some other losers (Well, they could at least blame it on vomiting and blood in their fesses) decided to stay an wait until they got back.
I went a short walk to see the endangered Walia Ibex. I photogenic group of Gelade baboons also visited the campsite area, so I was quite happy anyway.
In the early afternoon the mountain- guys where back and before we left we expressed our thanks to our local guide, cooks and scouts (the scouts where our armed guards, they were made of the right stuff, some of the older guys where veterans from the war with Eritrea, in the freezing nights the just took short naps straight on the icy ground under a small blanket).
The night was spent night in a local hotel in Debark. This hotel was not more comfortable the others but they had draft beer.
