Blue Nile Falls, Ethiopia

Hi,

It is pretty funny – but they walk hand in hand  – the boys I mean, they walk hand in hand.

They are not gay (they tried to pick up couple of chicks, even Atzva when I was just next to me… ), they are just good friends.

We, in Israel, hug pretty much and even kiss (on the cheek…) but somehow that really looks like they are lovers walking for a night walk in the streets of the city.
I still remember how some Argentinian guy changed the word of the song while singing as to not say things that might understood as he is gay

But with all that, the hotels are not allowing two boys in one room. They don’t mind to look like gays, but they have a problem with real gays , better be the other way.

Take Care

 On the way to the Blue Nile waterfalls on a crowded bus

Hiking route of the Blue Nile falls

Girls caring wood for fire, somehow those are always the girls that does all those works here …  The bridge over the Blue Nile it was built by Emperor Fasilides (the one that founded Fasil Ghebbi

The Blue Nile creek in the Basalt rock

Our “guide”. We asked him to leave us alone, but he followed us, showed us the way and explained a bit. Of course we paid him in the end … .

An Ethiopian church in the distance

The new lake that was created from the new dam on the Blue Nile. It was closed, so the waterfalls were less amazing

The Waterfalls!! still amazing , even from far

The suspended bridge over part of the Blue Nile –

Looking down from The suspended bridge – That looks more like a Blue Nile 

The Waterfalls from closer look still amazing

Sheep, goats and cows on the plain above the waterfalls

The boat crossing the Blue Nile in the end of the trail.

On the way back from the Waterfalls – Saccharum, but no sugar factory…
That is why Ethiopia is missing sugar (it might not be a bad thing).

On the way back from the Waterfalls – Changing a tire. (that’s how a 1.5 hour ride becomes 3 hours ride )

On the way back from the Waterfalls – The bottle of the stick means there is home-made Alcoholic drink for sale
