Leaving
Korem (in the background) across fields, with Gebrehiwet
carrying a heavy bag on his head.
We
soon start rising above the plain, with the blue surface of Lake Hashenge visible at a far distance.
The
modern buildings of Korem quickly give place to more
traditional huts.
The
scenery becomes one of terraced fields.
We
put our first camp in the small village of Lati. As
usual, we attracted a small crowd of people from the village.
We
left the village of Lati on the following morning.
Farmers and herders were already busy.
As
we gained more elevation the scenery became more interesting.

small village in a stunning scenery.

More
huts and small villages.
Sometimes
villages and farms have this kind of greeting committee. Fortunately, these dogs
bark loudly but are rarely aggressive.
