Farewell to Harar...

Zoe & I outside the Traditional Harari Guest House we stayed at...   Zoe exploring the formal sitting room decorated from floor to ceiling in traditional arts & crafts...     The boys will play Football (Soccer) anywhere and anyone is welcome to join in!    Harar beer...in our opinion the best beer in Ethiopia....   So of course being in Harar itself we HAD to have some...     Walking in the rain...   Leaving Harar...   Local huts made from different materials collected...  On the road again...  
Small town camel...     View from a tukul... Ethiopian Highlands - farmland...     My blessed tribe...  

These are the last pictures from the Harar part of our journey last July. From Harar we headed east back towards Addis Ababa with a stop at Awash National Park. 

It was such a great journey together...memories made.
