Lake Tana is Ethiopia's largest lake. I wanted to see it - and I wanted to cross it. Why? Because Tana is the source of the Blue Nile and this alone tweaked my interest.
I hitchhiked solo across the Sahara Desert, from Algeria to Niger. It took 3+ weeks, exploring oasis towns and waiting on empty roads for rides. Part #1: El Oued to Ghardaia and the M'zab Valley.
