To Ethiopia; a country I was particularly looking forward to seeing.

And Gonder was a fine place to start.  An interesting day included the frescos in the fifteenth centry church of Debre Berhan Selassie, an Ethiopian christening, a beer with the Bishop of Gonder, and a brothel crawl in the evening*.

* No.  Alas, every bar in town operated on a dual basis.  Intriguingly, punters have to buy their girl something to eat at the bar before escorting her elsewhere.  Initially I thought this was to get round local prostitution laws, but actually it was so the girls could have something to eat.  No client; no food.
