Trip to Sodere

To get out of the big city I took a day trip to Sodere. It was a 3 hour bus ride both ways, so I was able to see alot of the country side. Sodere, itself is only ok. It is a hotel and "resort" that is built around natural hot springs. They have a communal shower like place that is packed and a swimming pool (equally mobbed). I did not see any non-Ethiopian of any kind in the water so I chose not to get in (I decided getting ill from contaminated water has not a priority). The cool thing about the resort was the hundreds of monkeys running around and we walked about a bit and saw an interesting river crossing. Above are some pictures.
