Trip to Gonder - Day 2

Pictures of our trip to Gonder (northern Ethiopia) including visiting the Royal Compound which contains 7 castles from Emperors in the 17th and 18th centuries, Fasilida's Bath & 2nd residence which the emperor used and is still used today for annual Timket ceremonies when the huge pool is filled with water, and visit to Debre Berhan Selassie, an 18th century church which contains some of the greatest church artwork in all of Ethiopia.
