My geliefde staan verlate in Soedan. Dit was slegs om die fiets agter te laat. / I had to leave the KLR in Sudan. That was bad. It is now on its way to Egypt.
Goeie naand!
Ek is in Egipte.
Die verpligte ferry-vaart was lank, vol, en die toilette was onbruikbaar stinkend :-)
Ons was meer as 24 uur aan boord. Immigrasie en doeane alleen het vandag byna 5 ure geduur. Wat 'n chaos!
Ek het die reddingsbote getel. Daar was plek vir ongeveer 240 mense. 360 sou dus moes swem as iets sou gebeur het.
Ek moes my fiets agterlaat in Soedan. Dit is nou met die motor pontoon op pad en behoort more hier te wees. Ek glo nie ons gaan ons voertuie voor Sondagaand, Maandag terugkry nie. Die berugte Egiptiese doeane...
Vanaand 'n week terug het ek by die boeregesin oornag, onder palmbome. Vanaand is ek skokkend terug in 'n wereld met restaurante, roomys, koue bier, skoon toilette.
Ek is moeg, gaan nou in die bed klim.
Groete!
Good evening!
I arrived safely in Aswan.
The ferry trip was long, full, and the toilets were stinking holes.
I counted the places in the rescue boats. 240 could find a place, 360 not ...
We were more than 24 hours on board. Immigration and customs today took more than 5 hours! It was chaos.
I had to leave the KLR behind in Sudan. It is on the car pontoon on the way to Egypt now and should be in Egypt tomorrow. Due to the Egyptian custom speed I expect to have the bike on Sunday night or Monday.
Tonight a week ago I spent the night with the farmer family near the Nile. Tonight I am back in civilisation with restaurants, ice cream, cold beer and clean toilets. What a shock!
I am tired and am off to bed now.
Regards!
