The palace complex at Kuskuam is not as impressive as those in the Royal Enclosure, but its isolation from the city has a charm all of its own.
But I was not interested in the church, but the old palace behind it. The caretaker came with me, the enormous old wooden door to the palace compound was barred with a massive wooden block held in place by several stones in the wall, and a lock with a big key. Just when he finally managed to open it, the clouds in the sky started to open and it started to rain. I was able to see the ruins of the room where James Bruce lived in the 18th century, waiting for permission to visit the source of the Blue Nile. Then the rain turned into a downpour. One of the remaining arches offered me just enough coverage. It took a while for the clouds to empty themselves; when they finally did, the light on the remaining walls of the palace was bright, and behind the palace, I saw a low rainbow spanning the valley.
