Lalibela

We hired a small coach to take us to Lalibela. The coach blew two tyres, at the same time, on the way there. It was a nine hour trip on gravel and dirt roads etc. but that isn't really important.

What is important is that we got to see the magnificent rock churches of Lalibela. These are the ones where they made a church by cutting down into the rock and then cutting a door and carving out a whole church. It was pretty cool to see.

The priests that look after the church were cool. They come out with their crosses and let people take photographs while they wear sunglasses. I swear one guy even had a pair of Guccis on.
