| Over 1 million square kilometers, Ethiopia is twice the size of Texas. With that much ground, we must keep moving to see much of this country. We board another Ethiopian bus for a four hour ride to Bahar Dar. Here we visit the Blue Nile falls and the source of the Blue Nile itself.

| Known as Tis Isat (Smoking Fire), this is low-water for the Blue Nile Falls. During the wet season it measures over 400 meters wide and its spray can be felt up to a kilometer away.

|
| The falls support luscious vegetation, a small rain forest, and a few over eager 'guides' that will follow you to the falls whether you want them to or not. Stand near the falls and the spray will soak you in minutes.
