Day 32: Wadi Halfa

Some people have said, that today maybe the day. Fingers crossed....

About two, we get some news. The barge has passed Abu Simbel, so approx three to four hours away from us. Unfortunately, there are two problems. One: if the barge doesn’t cross the border before five, it won’t be allowed to. Second: customs closes at four, so even if it makes it to port, we ain’t getting the bikes until tomorrow.

This is all OK though, our next stop will be Dongola, which is approx 250 miles. It’s achievable in a day, but there are some great sites to see along the way apparently. So, if it takes us a day and a half, that’s fine.

Although, I’ve got to cover 4000 miles in the next 25 days to pick up a friend. And that also includes crossing Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania and then into Zambia...
