We walked around Gondar after arriving, but somehow were unable to find any interesting part of town. The hotel room was hot and had mosquitoes but no screens or fan and we were glad to get out and change our plans for after the trek to a different hotel, and one day less.
We met Shif in Debark and started the four day three night trek. Pretty good! Ours was a private trek but we met a lot of interesting fellow travelers, including Will and Michelle, who are planning to leave their jobs (she manages operations at Feed the Children in Addis, Will at HBSC in Bermuda) and travel for six months. This was followed by two nights at Limalimo lodge, a very nice place where we mostly relaxed, and also ran into Will and Michelle again!
Then, a visit to the castles at the Royal enclosure in Gondar, and buffet dinner at Four Sisters; great. The buffet had quite a selection but no doro wat, and we asked about it and they brought some straight from the kitchen to our table! We took a look at the Inn at Four Sisters too, we would have preferred to stay there.
