class ticket has earned us a spot in the baking sun on the top deck
with a host of other overland travellers from Europe (mostly in 4x4s,
from switzerland, poland, germany and holland) and one other lone
cyclist Simon from the UK. There are of course all the local
passengers milling about too.
We have rigged up our tent groundsheet for about 2 square meters of
shade. You even get a meal included (luxury I say!) and it doesn,t
look too bad either, chciken, potato, flat bread, pasta and salad.
You'd struggle to find such variety in most towns in Egypt! Don,t ask
about the toilets though.
So hopefully in about 24hrs we will be sailing into Wadi Halfa, where
we will scout around town for a mud hut (aka hotel) to sleep in for
the night. Or we may just not be able to resist the urge to cycle out
into the desert and sleep under the stars!
Internet access will be pretty much non-existant for the next few days
but keep checking the blog anyway just in case!
