Staying at antelope park for another night whilst we wait for a passports to arrive back in the uk, hopefully complete with our Ethiopian visas. Lazy day today due to a hangover from the previous night and not to spend anymore money. Had such a palaver with paying our bill for the lion package, was guaranteed that we could pay by card, attempted this about 5 times without success so reluctantly paid by cash. I would highly recommend antelope park to anyone, ev...

Met up with our tour guide Champion to take us on a guided tour of the ruins. The site was built between the 13th and 17th centuries. All buildings were built as dry wall structures, which was incredible to see and amazing how they have lasted so long! First stop was the citadel were the king lived, incredible stone work which was built in with the natural rock formations and stunning views over the surrounding area and the great enclosure. Stopped in a little...
