Lalibela is a fabulous place to explore, with a lovely hotel and unique restaurant. The Mountain View Hotel, sits on the ridge of an escarpment, overlooking an immense valley with rows and rows of jagged mountains visible in the distance. We enjoyed the dining experiences…with Finnias, the chef at the hotel and at a neighboring restaurant, Ben Abeba, uniquely designed and run by a Scottish woman and her Ethiopian partner. We watched the sun set from the viewing deck of the hotel and saw stars that seemed close enough to reach out and touch from the restaurant.
