As today was Sunday - we headed on the bus to go and see a local landmark Ankober palace.
The bus journey took about 1 and a half hours and was not for the faint hearted. It was a bumpy road and we were constantly going up hill - so we were very close to the edge. The views were fabulous though. The whole way we got an amazing view of the famous Rift Valley. We got out at a few stages to take photographs - however the photos really don't do it justice.
When we arrived at Ankober. We walked up quite a few sets of steps to get to the palace. It was lovely - the roof was weaved by hand with different materials in the Ethiopian colours which would have taken a very very long time. We enjoyed be view for a long time then headed back to Debre Berhan.
In the evening we went to visit the local Orthodox Church. All of the women had to have their heads covered so we purchased some scarfs for this. It was interesting seeing the church and how dedicated the locals are to their prayer.
