We are now back to the guest home after a fabulous weekend away. Yesterday we arranged a drive to see the Blue Nile falls. We had to take a boat across the lake and walk for a few minutes before reaching the beautiful waterfalls. Despite going sans tour guide, we were immediately met by 5 locals who insisted on showing us where to go. We were equally as insistent on telling them to get lost... It didn't work... and they continued to follow our every move (seems to be a pattern at every tourist spot... A shame really). After trying to "enjoy" the falls, we headed back to the land cruiser for our bumpy ride back to the resort. Our unwanted "tour guides" insisted on being tipped because we were "happy"with their help.... Jenn and I had a good laugh. Even though there were a couple nuisances, our trip to Bahir Dar was wonderful and probably our favorite spot in Ethiopia thus far. Here are some pictures!
