Leave your shoes outside - Lalibela

Leave your shoes outside

Shoe keepers

Like in all the churches and holy places in Ethiopia its custom to take off the shoes. Of course this created a new job. Somebody will show up and take care about your shoes for a small tip. Sometimes its not worth putting them on again because its only a few meters to the next church. The shoe keeper will carry them to the next place and make sure that they will be there when you leave the place.
