People of Bale mountains and especially southern part - Harena forest were not  annoying towards foreigners in comarison with e.g. Arba Minch and Jinka (both quite bad places as far as people in concerned)

Relaxing in the compounds of the only restaurant in Rira (in has very good bread at certain times of the day) and waiting for a truck back over Bale mountains to Goba

Stop in Debre Zeit - 1 hour to Addis Abeba
