Saturday 21st

No sleep at all. Stomach cramps and all other associated catastrophes.
Plans for today have to change. Can't walk to next camp.
Tim and Japi are astoundingly patient. They wait for a change in my
condition before making plans. At 10:30 it's clear that we have to abandon
our treck two thirds through. Our guide, Zembaba walks an hour and a half
to a phone and returns with a car. Quick packing and walk half an hour up
hill to reach it.
Bumpy and speedy journey to Lalibela. Almost come to grief on drive -
swerve out of ditch fish-tailing. Have seen many a wreck since being on
the road.
Arrive to find no accommodation. The place we have booked for next two
nights, Tukol Village, arranges alternative, Jerusalem Guest House. Clean
+ hot water. Cant really remember much of today. No photos at all.
Here's one of Tim from Yesterday...
