Trip to Bahir Dar - Day 3

On Tuesday we traveled from Gonder, 3 hours south to Bahir Dar which lies on the Southern shore of Lake Tana (the 4th largest lake in Africa). Many of these photos are from our travels to Blue Nile Falls near Tis Isat village. Blue Nile Falls is a huge waterfall during the rainy season, but as you'll see is reduced to a small trickle during the dry season mainly because of a hydroelectric dam that a few years ago began diverting much of the water away from the falls in order to generate electricity. There also are some countryside photos and people pics.
