Khartoum

After two weeks making our way along the Nile in Northern Sudan we have reached the country's capital, Khartoum. Sudan is a formidable place to visit, for the outrageous friendlyness & beauty off its people, the starkness of its deserts and the lack of comfort available in transportation! The truck through the desert from Wadi Halfa (the border town, where the boat from Egypt lands) to the town of Kerma took 20hours squatting or standing on bags of cement, so much dust, heat and emptyness. Still for all the inconvienience it felt great to be that far out, at least for the first few hours, and the people here are so welcoming it makes up for any discomfort. We stayed with a teacher and his family in the lovely little town of Argo for a few days which was a great experience, and also managed to fit in 2 weddings!
Will get some pictures sorted online in the next few days if possible, got some pretty ones of the pyramids, and the people!
