Nov 29 - Arba Minch - arrival

Our next goal was Arba Minch, the southern most part of our trip. The town is on the side of a steep hill, on the edge of an escarpment overlooking a National Park.

The journey from Hawassa started with a trip to the bus station

 Our bus

 Inside, with all the traders.

 We had to change buses half way

Approaching Arba Minch

While I sat quietly looking after the bags, Sue did a long search for the best (well rather the best value for money) hotel. She found this absolute winner.

As usual, we were the only people staying there.

 There are stunning views from our room, modelled (very well) on a thatched hut.  The escarpment dropped away just a couple of paces from our hut.

We shared a cool beer overlooking the National Park

 The Northern lake

 And the Southern one

 The view through our door

Just like an up market straw hut.

This is where we sat and looked over the escarpment

The restaurant (always closed) , except for breakfast.
