Day 14 and 15 - Saturday 14/10/2006 Sunday 15/10/2006

Well we have just been to the Sudanease Embassy in Cairo and reapplied for the visas again (The ones that were issued in UK just after we had left). They have said that we can go back later today to collect them which sounds promising. We are staying with a friend called Martin in Maadi who has been extremely kind in helping our quest. I have just left Nick up by the Pyramids in Giza where he is going to take some pictures and have a look around, while i decided it time to catch up on some emails and also read the blog.
We arrived in Cairo yesterday lunchtime and made our way to the rugby club where we spent the rest of the day having a couple of beers and watching the Currie cup final. All in all it was a chill out day apart from a couple hundred miles in the morning. Our plan, visa permitting, is to have a day rest tomorrow and then head on south on tuesday, so hopefully we should be catching the ferry accross the border into sudan by the end of the week (all things being equal). Inshala!
Oh yes, riding a bike around Cairo must rate as an extreme fun thing to do, Nick and I did it yesterday and had a ball - no rules, no nothing just go for it!!
Ok well that's all from me at present.

Thanks for your support out there.
