We are now in Bahir Dar, first stop on our small tour in Ethiopia.
Bahir Dar is radically different from Jimma, as everything here seems well-planned and organized. When we first came here it reminded us a lot more about a Mediterranean riviera than Ethiopia. There are wide boulevards and tall palm-trees in straight lines along them and only few gravel roads.
Bahir Dar looks in every way a lot richer than Jimma, and we are pretty sure this is because of the considerable tourism.
Bahir Dar is right by the Lake Tana which is the source of the Blue Nile.
Today we are going to see the Nile Falls some 40 km. from here, and tomorrow we will continue to our second stop; Gonder.
Happy New Year,
Aske and Maria

This blog is a travel-blog updating friends and relatives about Maria and Aske's adventurous experiences in Ethiopia. The internet availability in Ethiopia was very scarce and therefore this was our primary way to communicate with the rest of the world. We left September 5th '08 and were back in Europe January 15th '09. Please do leave a message or comment if you feel like it.
