Thereafter, take a boat trip on Lake Tana and visit two or three of its beautiful and interesting islands with their medieval period monasteries. Lake Tana is the largest in Ethiopia covering over 3500sq km and is renowned for its monasteries established on islands. There were 21 islands, seven to eight of which had monasteries on them "formerly large, but now much diminished.  Most churches in the monasteries are having interesting paintings and contain a collection of church treasures and beautiful old manuscripts.  

In afternoon drive to Tis Isat (Blue Nile Falls) Waterfalls, one of the most spectacular falls in Africa before, 400m wide when in flood and dropping over a sheer chasm more than 45m deep, the thunderous noise could be heard long before arrival and the spray that is thrown up could be felt up to a kilo meters away. But since a dam has been built upstream, the waterfall is reduced and has lost some of its former splendor but there may be some rain in spring p  eriod, it is still impressive. And also the walk to the waterfall is nice and you can enjoy nature and watch birds. Keep an eye out for parrots, bee-eaters, lovebirds and Turacos. Drive back to hotel, free and overnight.

Stay overnight in Bahir Dar
