 | Around Gilgel Beles | |
| Welcome to Gilgel Beles, Ethiopia It’s a small village 120km from the nearest asphalt road at an altitude of 1000m (the lowest point in the area with Mar/Apr temperatures hitting 40°C in the shade every day.) |
| View of the village from a small hill in the South. |
| View looking towards the hill. In the far background is Kar Ridge (2000m) |
| Beles River |
| It reminded me of the wild west - these are shops. |
| Matching the stereotypical view of Africa - dry season, mud huts on the outskirts of the village. Of course in the wet season it's all green, and in the large towns there are new shopping centres. |
| Local gang of hoodlums!! The children were great in Gilgel. They were so pleased just to shake my hand. |
