As part of a Yemgeta Tour we recently spent 2 days in Lalibela. What can anyone say about these incredible 900 year old churches carved out of the mountain sides? Stupendous. Indeed should be added to the world's list of wonders.

We stayed at the Roha Hotel - part of Ghion chain - friendly staff, comfortable, safe, very good value, little bit old fashioned. They do a limited tourist lunch and dinner that costs less than $5 per person.

If you are in Ethiopia for a few extra days, as we were, just go to Lalibela!
