Lalibela Ethiopia - "Lali" meaning honey & "Bela" meaning Eater (local translation).
Lalibela - "He whom the bees love"

Surrounded by undulating green hills abuzz with life in every form, Lalibela's heart is purely magical.
Her people humble, generous & beautiful. There is an unwavering belief system, a devotion which seems to carry them through each day. this is so apparent & unlike anything I have ever seen before.
Wherever you go the words "Salam, you are most welcome" follow with a broad smile.
Although poverty, unemployment & malnutrition are rife, there is a deep richness of soul.

Love,
Bernadette
