. Yes, the locals were quite welcoming and friendly.What a great trip! I visited Lalibela and Axum as a child (over fifty years ago) and I still remember them very well. I have been to Addis and Lake Tana as well, the last time less than 18 years ago. Once again, great photos and thank you for showing me familiar places through your eyes. It is very interesting.
. Axum looks like a very interesting place to visit, would love to head back and see some more of the country.
Great TR - thanks so much!! The churches tour and the green land hikes were amazing. How was the raw meat in cubes? Im only accustomed to it in thin slices and ground tartare! Also the meat was both red and white - which animals?
and yes, very glad that the drone was returned without major hassle.

. Yes, so much history and beautiful landscapes, very different from Dubai. The meat at Yilma was beef, the white stuff is just the fat.. The meat was surprisingly tender and tasty. The start of my next TR will be a little different, flying at the front of the plane.

. Yes, maybe enough points for a return trip to Ethiopia
.You'll be fine, Bretteee. Most African countries only ask for the YFC if you are coming from another African country. I think Nigeria is the only African country (out of 32 I've been to) where they've asked for my YFC while coming from Dubai.

Thanks for taking the time to put together this TR. Has the peace agreement between Ethiopia and Eritrea improved safety in the Danakil area? Did the agreement satisfy some of the issues of the Afar people? This issue has been holding me back from visiting Erte Ale.

At about 1pm we rolled into the town of Berhale and stopped for a break and to meet up with the rest of the group.
Rice and vegetables for a simple but filling lunch.

. Not too sure on how the improvement in relations affects the Afar issues. Attacks are still quite rare though and the official UK travel advice is green so it should be relatively safe to visit: https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/ethiopia). When we returned to the same place on the way back I did opt to pay extra to have the injera and goat meat that the locals were having:
