  • Sumptuously.
  • When ever I visit Addis, and wanted to just be alone and chill....there is not spot like Ghion. The Olympic size pull (specially after the water is replenished is clear before the greenish chlorine)is nice. The fact that the water is cold, unlike Hilton, it rejuvenates unless it happen to be keremt and raining (in that case Hilton is better). Another spot I enjoy the most is the cottage veranda with long long very long trees near by, birds, the fresh air and the faint sound of people and cars near by....that's as good as it gets. I always think about those who were enjoying the very place I am who are no longer with us...and also the glorious days when Haile Selassie makes a journey from palace to Ghion thru the back door. I can't wait to come back for more enjoyment of lazy days at Ghion. I am yet to dare and attempt to dive from plat form but one day....
