More than three hours after we were picked up in Arusha, we were finally ready to go... that means, only the two of us and Boniface, our ranger. Our guide, who was kind enough to carry my water bottle, planned to catch up with us when he had finished organizing the porters. Obviously he had not told the ranger what route to choose, so we had to talk him into going the longest route, which is not so steep and better for altitude acclimatization. Nice trip, but missed my water bottle...</div>

After a good rest the rain stopped and we had a very nice acclimatization hike to Little Meru. From there we could see the rest of the route all the way to the peak, excited to see the sunrise and the view in the morning, not knowing what was waiting on our 5 hour long night walk...</div>

Okay, as we started our nightly hike at 1 a.m. it also started to rain, and the rain continued till we were almost there. Then it started to snow!!! Oh yeah, what an enjoyable hike... Dark, wet, cold, steep. I understand why April is low season... It was hard, but we made it to the top, 4566 m :) </div>

Legs and toes had a really hard time the last couple of hours. They had been pushed hard - 1000 metres up and 3000 metres down in a day!!

Stone Town is a great town! There are so many nice things to see and do in and outside of the city, so four days was absolutely necessary! We had the perfect hotel with an extraordinary hotel manager who gave us good coffee and personal advice every morning. Good to know the best places to eat, what to pay for whatever we wanted to do or buy, and the manager even went shopping with us to make sure we got a good quality of and local prices on all our purchases. </div>

From Matemwe we took a day trip to Mnemba Island, another fabulous atoll for snorkeling. Too bad the island is private, and we weren´t even allowed to touch it!

What I write is just as much a diary for myself as it is intended for you to read, but you are of course welcome to plough through every single word or just have a quick glance at the pictures, whatever you like. As for myself, I just feel so happy and privileged that I have finally been able to go back and travel around in my "second homeland," after 21 years, and grateful that everything worked out even better than I had planned!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">ADDIS ABABA</span><br />The meal Margrethe had promised me lived up to my expectations.

Marianne came by car from Kenya, and she arrived in Addis the day after myself. Nice to have some days in the colourful capital with her, sightseeing, shopping, trotting. I also had my friends join in a nostalgic early morning breakfast at Entoto mountains! This time outside of the palace of Menelik II, completely by ourselves.

Margrethe´s wonderful Ethiopian friend, Alem, and her sister joined us. A nun showed us around, and she even led us "the easy" way to the viewpoint on the cliff above the church. Alem and her sister met their relative where the nun lived, and unexpectedly we were invited to eat. Hospitality in Ethiopia is great.

Undescribable to see the house in which we used to live! Many memories and emotions! Memories of wonderful days of vacation playing in the house, looking for kittens in the bushes around the compound, having 12 at the most, having dinner under the pepper tree, fresh rolls and limonade on the veranda, my </span><span>mother´s yellow jam made of papaya and passion fruit, playing with Marit and Anne Kari, playing "Dimo" with our Ethiopian neighbours, eating Mimmi´s best-in-the-world shiro watt. The memories of my sister and I getting up at dawn to bake cookies to bring back to the boarding school in Addis, the tears that always pressed on when one of the school vans came to pick us up and the vacation was over and we had to say good bye to Mum and Dad and our little brother, these memories were a bit more emotional I have to admit. But I´ll stay longer in Awassa next time I go to Ethiopia!</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKnrYNAocJUMqONQy3MayUYD3LKOIYZU2TPoU8vDyB44TplLjab7J1rN8WJywWR4IqR99tLTvDEwcxZFvPdUEN3KayVQJy-x3ggPkSwB0AdfQDmmqNh50s2glIy73ZU5gTUVLOCAylvqnJ/s1600-h/IMG_0400.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKnrYNAocJUMqONQy3MayUYD3LKOIYZU2TPoU8vDyB44TplLjab7J1rN8WJywWR4IqR99tLTvDEwcxZFvPdUEN3KayVQJy-x3ggPkSwB0AdfQDmmqNh50s2glIy73ZU5gTUVLOCAylvqnJ/s320/IMG_0400.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363067391456311346" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYYLS8sMnzIkJ8fbgea_4mrA4FzJmum4SVS-wVGOG6FaPIcmc56kJmoQtcVQLENtlQj3zml6_U9IqZpF_9ihKH4d-R8kqjPSBNSLvNCYRUkmHWgjPCEIE-S1TMQDaWvsr0tex1Mabw1Hhw/s1600-h/IMG_0401.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYYLS8sMnzIkJ8fbgea_4mrA4FzJmum4SVS-wVGOG6FaPIcmc56kJmoQtcVQLENtlQj3zml6_U9IqZpF_9ihKH4d-R8kqjPSBNSLvNCYRUkmHWgjPCEIE-S1TMQDaWvsr0tex1Mabw1Hhw/s320/IMG_0401.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363066690466424082" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD5wsoZ2bdwc2w32tUYqOqRwewpLaTkzCkQbynAnLAATraR_7WxxJFlHGyBlqlkqscw-7veql3kdB3AUkfZrbJVjDrb3mt6I2GiC7WN53Tr05thna1YeLfanboxY1fsPBRCMOdLYxF4r7a/s1600-h/IMG_0402.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD5wsoZ2bdwc2w32tUYqOqRwewpLaTkzCkQbynAnLAATraR_7WxxJFlHGyBlqlkqscw-7veql3kdB3AUkfZrbJVjDrb3mt6I2GiC7WN53Tr05thna1YeLfanboxY1fsPBRCMOdLYxF4r7a/s320/IMG_0402.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363066152654026050" border="0" /></a><span>The next day we set off for Bale Mountains.

Our guide was a descendant of Sheikh Sof Omar himself. As we had our lunch he went for a swim, since I guess keeping the monkeys away from eating tourists wasn´t part of his job... Anyway, my bread was snapped out of my hands by one of those cheeky little creatures! Since our guide hardly spoke any English and my Amharic is very poor, we were very happy that my friend and former classmate Gunn Eline and her husband Hans Ovar, who live an hour´s drive from Sof Omar Caves, arrived just in time to join us in the caves and translate everything the guide said into Norwegian!

Remote, warm, dry, but at least there was power a few hours every night instead of every second day, as in the rest of the country. Nice to see where they live and work, and to get to know their great children! And I was lucky to get a lift all the way back to Addis, 13 hours of which 8 were on a bumpy road.

This bus trip was completely different from the one to Lalibela, as Selam Buses have comfortable seats, seat belts, TV/DVD player showing National Geographics programmes, Ethiopian movies, and music videos (especially music videos..). Breakfast and sodas was served. Ghion Hotel in Bahir Dar was a budget place, but just fine. We stayed for two days, and the first day we went on a boat trip to visit some of the monasteries on the islands of Lake Tana. We were surprised that the weather was so nice, and after 2,5 hours we arrived at the island of the Monastery of Narga Selassie. After a visit in the church we were invited to join the congregation in their meal outside the church, as it happened to be a holiday of this church. We had brought bread for lunch, but gave it away as injera, shiro watt and tella (lokal beer) filled our stomacks! The monasteries on the Zege Peninsula were not that impressive - you kind of get a feeling that they are all the same, but we were probably just filled for the day.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgppnjmvC20XAbATNwYRZCt6SWhIutl56xTT_Jk-ODKwP_9CfC-w9iOiwVj2HoT-JDkXKCCH2k5PYzxLdnEr3hWHpz3UunJcQeGCShuXQjAMa2aGTehL_NUWDTG8LwBLn78lEdmZ4BVvhH/s1600-h/IMG_0524.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

We planned to have breakfast first, but impulsively we found out that it might be smart to check the bus schedule first. It turned out that the bus was about to leave, maybe in 10 minutes, when it was full, which it seemed to be. But a bus can carry innumerably more passengers than there are seats. Anyway, we dropped our lunch and went to the village of Tis Issat, where we had a very simple breakfast of bread and tea, surrounded by flies. It had been raining, and the roads were nothing but mud! Nice walk, and this is about how the refrain that followed us sounded: "Hello Mister, what is your name? That is a nice name. My name is x. This is my shop. Do you want to buy something? May be when you come back? Remember me when you come back." But we did not come back. We met a nice French couple and crossed the river to get closer to the Blue Nile Falls, had some great Ethiopian coffee with a view, and then we had to cross the river again, by boat, before heading back to the bus.<br /><div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfSxTR3zn7_Tk3NKaEY4l2hIaN2kG8y76Q-b8dTejN8dEk4yx_lrcr92gm57rUsSSYRYUIF5rdrGo4kvK2qO1jRR5BW75cPzuR-sllONt79EwT7BWYuK1p4oYQltNSpK4ncj30xe0M8djl/s1600-h/IMG_0615.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

That made it easier for us to accept the offer of taking a minibus to Gonder from the hotel. It would go straight and take about 2,5 hours (compared with 4 hours in a regular bus). We were told that the driver would take us to our hotels in Gonder, so it sounded like a good idea to pay the extra money and enjoy our breakfast for another one and a half hours. But we had not exited Bahir Dar before the driver stopped the van and loaded it with bags and boxes full of khat. His ears were completely deaf to our protests, and the khat chewing men that were hanging in the windows staring at us was not at all a very pleasant experience. The driver stopped several times along the way, to trade the khat, and even though the drive itself only lasted 2,5 hours, it took us more than 4 to get to our hotel. When we arrived in Gonder the driver had no idea at all where any of his passengers were going, and he refused to bring us to our hotel. We were so mad!! But on the phone to Ghion Hotel we were told that the deal was to bring us to the bus station. Next time we´ll take a regular bus. We missed the sight-seeing we had planned for the afternoon, but got our share the following day.<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaAdh7VLKhrJwW-GoCblQrklIFHfvS2GyMNmR4R_EkSDuglV3SRY4c8AtrYTB0qtaW72JjiSTAnovKIg7ZUtBcM4hFx_RiwcBy6JflIT9rG0d1VIRjADMPQZ3CyLFt1R374Sjty0D-QvHC/s1600-h/IMG_0703.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaAdh7VLKhrJwW-GoCblQrklIFHfvS2GyMNmR4R_EkSDuglV3SRY4c8AtrYTB0qtaW72JjiSTAnovKIg7ZUtBcM4hFx_RiwcBy6JflIT9rG0d1VIRjADMPQZ3CyLFt1R374Sjty0D-QvHC/s320/IMG_0703.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363093564501547506" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >View from our hotel in Gonder.</span><br /></div><br />The guide that led us through the history and castles of the Royal Enclosure of Gonder was full of knowledge, and made our stay very interesting!

He just laughed and said that if you are told to be at the airport at 6, that means you can leave home at 6. He turned out to be right. The airport had still not opened when we arrived a few minutes past 6. I was on my own, as Margrethe went back from Gonder to Addis by bus. The flight to Axum went smoothly, and so did finding the Afrika Hotel stand at the airport. Free transport to the hotel, which was cheeper and nicer than most of the other hotels that I had stayed at.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje-1Yc5vYYAm3hDUVqiuL3ypgckbFNS0nrpn_y6lyHat0BW2jYFQOe8cVzDce35MmGccRKPIYwmP1N8KnyBc6Iql-FsDI77Z91cJ9BBndTrK-5gpoGisozXhrIB_8ReIp4deYrPMLl96zQ/s1600-h/IMG_0822.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje-1Yc5vYYAm3hDUVqiuL3ypgckbFNS0nrpn_y6lyHat0BW2jYFQOe8cVzDce35MmGccRKPIYwmP1N8KnyBc6Iql-FsDI77Z91cJ9BBndTrK-5gpoGisozXhrIB_8ReIp4deYrPMLl96zQ/s320/IMG_0822.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363104062866060914" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >Close to the border.

Like all the other cities on the historical circuit, Axum also had a lot more to show than I was aware of before reading Lonely Planet. Interesting and intense day, but having a guide gave me company and spared me from the hustle. A tuc-tuc was rented for the three sites that were just outside the town (though walking distance on a good day), and even if it cost more than the bus from Addis to Lalibela I was happy to have it because of the heavy rain! For the first time, it was pouring down almost the whole day. Again I was amazed of the history of Ethiopia, the highly developed civilisation of ancient times, when it comes to architecture, written language, trading, etc. What happened?<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXaz4PqflERm55WF-5fa2s5YKN95i5fYnVUrENxChpKH_UQX4QyGoLeuP6_0EVZvw5zlNiUPXhy2zBS3eb6JDzq8DRuQa_7JVibcI0PanCQfyup9YW5u-qxJLfef4o6eVO3_Tfr0tK38s5/s1600-h/IMG_0835.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

A great long weekend, though, and a great tour where we got two fantastic, yet very different concert experiences. In Rossyn Chapel (I felt at home - nice name..) we had the most enthusiastic audience, and the 30ish people that listened filled up the tiny little church. St.Giles´Cathedral was open to visitors all day, and quite a few sat down to listen during our lunch time concert. Great venue, excellent acoustics. We were all very happy :) Nice city too - I don´t need to tell.. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlDJi9Z5Au1EIUJ5Iw7-O653ouVQr8K2Gww1VmBxqOYkM9R9K5MPcxANtHIouPjk7ntrAZMhGkTWX7hbHdVMJmTYyGxLkEk66jIzvSa2WUsBFHYbSceSNI1RWmVzRZIHSDLepNrme2OaUd/s1600-h/IMG_1745.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;
