Travelling through Ethiopia - 4

 The next day ( (january 6th) was- of course- to the famous blue Nile falls. A ¾ of an hour drive on a rough road - along the cattle market -  to the ‘entrance’, from where we walked 20 minutes. 
 The first thing we spotted were the beautiful shiny blue birds with bright yellow eyes. 
 Tehn, an interesting walk, where we were just part of a multitude of Ethiopians on their way to school, to market etc.
 Of course  we found a lot of vendors on our way, trying to sell touristy things.











The falls were impressive, even though the Ethiopian government has diverted 50 % of the water into a channel for electricity generating purposes.
