Stage 26 – Farm Camp to Bahir Dar

61km, 3 hrs (Approx)

Tricky nite, still not feeling well but rest day coming up. Peddled the best I could but weak.

Lots of farm country and trees. More traffic as we approach large town.

Bahir Dar was where they found a Jewish Altar on Lake Tana dating back 2000 years.
