Ethiopia Alcatraz

We stopped on an island on our way back to Bahir Dar from the Zege peninsula. As we inspected this building, a monk passing by informed us that it used to be a prison. There was probably no need for bars or fences. The nearest land would be too far for most people to swim to. The weather would make doing time here not as bad as Alcatraz, where it can be beautiful but also bone chilling cold. You also would not have to listen to the rich people partying at the nearby yacht club of an evening and be reminded of what you might be missing.
