The next excursion happened on Lake Tana, where pelicans are plentiful. If you go there in the morning, the waters are calm; after noon, waves start to pick up a bit.
The islands in Lake Tana are home to monasteries. You can see some original art works and also have access to handicraft vendors, including a man who paints in the traditional style.
You may also find hippopotamus on the lake. This is one reason why I preferred to travel via motor boat, instead of the more traditional papyrus boat method.
