Do you believe in magic?

Kate & Michael flew in to Addis Ababa from Entebbe, Uganda and I flew from Perth to Dubai to Addis. From Addis, we flew to Gondar and were driven to the Simien Mountains (N-E of Gondar in the direction of Aksum). We were driven back to Gondar to fly to Lalibela. We then flew from Lalibela to Aksum and were driven to Megab in Tigray (east and slightly south of Aksum). We were driven from Megab to Mekele, where we flew to Addis. I flew home but Kate & Michael continued to the Bale Mountains (slightly S-E of Awasa). 

Before leaving home, I'd read that visiting Ethiopia was like stepping into a childhood story book and so it was. I'd also read that when arriving at the first stop, one would imagine that there couldn't be anywhere else on Earth so fantastic - until visiting the second place and the third and so on. All true.
