Bahar Dar
Tired PatrickTomorrow – Tuesday – we are off towards Bahar Dar … on Lake Tanar, the origin of the Blue Nile. Here we have another rest day, and enjoy a "P-Party". The tour organizers plan quiz nights, dress-up parties and other activities during the trip.
We were unfortunately unable to fly thru to Lalibela … a World Heritage Site, but to be honest most of us were happier to relax than to go trekking and rushing off for a day or two.
After Bahar Dar we head off to Addis … killer hills and more kids – patience will take on a whole new meaning! On the way to Addis we cross thru the Blue Nile Gorge – a major gorge currently being reconstructed – with gravel, steep, long, dusty, hot and VERY high. We have a time trial planned for the uphill on the yonder side of the gorge … yeeha!!
