Day 5: First day in Bahir Dar (March 16)

The post for today will involve packing a travel first aid kit, a short review of Goha Hotel and first impressions of B&B The Annex. I did also spend time touring the trails around Blue Nile Falls.

Day 4: Mentewab's Palace and the local market (March 15)

This day was less epic in nature, but I was happy to see some things and then enjoy a lot of leisure time. If every day involved long drives and trekking in national parks, I might not last.

Day 3: Simien National Park (March 14)

On a side note, the photos which help tell the story will probably have to wait until I get home. I may have already mentioned the bandwidth issue. It takes long enough to upload them on a comparably super-fast connection in Toronto. Well, that extends the life of this blog a bit: after these written chronicles, you will probably get photo posts with explanations.

This day was slightly different than the others: instead of visiting a few things, I would spend most of my day doing one thing. After an early breakfast, a rugged looking vehicle pulled up near the hotel reception; I was about to go to Simien National Park.
