I took a Memorable Trip to Wendo Genet

Girma Erana

I took a memorable trip to Wendo Genet with my nine friends forty years ago. Wendo Genet is located Southern Ethiopia. It was established as a recreation site for the royal family during Emperor Haile Selassie. We gathered early in the morning and took a passenger van. From Addis Ababa to Shashemene city the road was asphalt, we were singing, conversation our shared secrets, admires the nature. After Shashemene the road was gravel and difficult to drive, all were afraid, and it became full of silence. When we reached Wendo Genet we were so tired and checked in the hotel.

The next day we woke up early the place covered dense of forest, and we went to see the natural hot spring water. The water falls in different places approximately two meters high. The water pressure is high and hot, there is a swimming pool also. When we were swimming, one of our friend’s shoulders was hurt. Our picnic changed from laughter to groaning.
