Kuskuam is only a few kilometres out of Gondar, and while there are several other ways to reach it, I chose to take a bicycle in the city and use my own legpower to reach the top of the hill. The first kilometres are mostly slightly downhill, and I soon discovered that the brakes of the bike did not work very well. When I found the turn-off for Kuskuam, I was confronted with a steep road leading up Debre Tsehai, or Mountain of Sun, above which huge clouds were gathering. Struggling up on the bike, and trying to steer clear of the biggest stones on the road, kids were running after me. I was sweaty when I finally carried my bike inside the compound of Kuskuam church.
