Nov 28 - Hawassa part 2

We loved our run-down lodge. We were very lazy. But eventually it was time to explore. We walked along the coastal path.








We were being watched


This fish eagle can see everything



Some people say they are pelicans. They don't look like that to me. Any help from our blog readers?

Later: I got help from an expert:

Dad,  they're called Marabou Storks, see

There is a lot of building here. Nit all of it gets completed


Beautiful




Organized gangs, but no violence.


The centre of town, with all the tuk-tuks




The shore was teaming with bird life



The lakeside from the resort.




We saw 4 5-foot long Komodo dragons here, fighting over a large fish the they had caught. But I did not have my camera!

So this pic comes from Wikipedia.




As we were having breakfast (eggs of course) the fish eagles were closing in.

Such a lovely relaxing place we added days but it was eventually time to move on.







So following more negotiations ( the flunkey at the hotel wanted 100 Bir), we hired a tuk-tuk for 30 and went off to the bus station to continue our trip South.
