If you want to move out of your comfort zone in 2011 and use travel to stimulate, challenge and broaden your mind, consider Ethiopia in east Africa, one of the cradles of world civilisation and possible birthplace of the human race. Sadly famous for drought, famine and war, the reality of Ethiopia today is far removed from the scorched brown landscape of death and disease we saw during Live Aid. Boasting one of the worlds's most visually stunning landscapes, its mountains, lakes and ancient monuments mak... (more)

As the road climbs away from Lalibela, even the steepest slopes have been sculpted into sickle-shaped fields. Not a stone is out of place in the retaining walls: testament to the hard work of generations of farmers who battle erosion and drought every day of their lives.

Our guide is Fantau, a whip-thin 20-something with a big smile and good English. Like so many Et... (more)

During the Jumaa prayers, Islamic parching (hutba) will be presented by the Imam. Sometimes it coincides with the sound of the Mass prayers from the church. The faithful will be disturbed by a mingled and distorted voice from the two loud speakers. St. Raguel’s Church has a big building on one side of the fence. The shops in the building exhibit the same confusion. (more)
