Day 30 - Monday 30/10/2006
Well another night under the stars in Sudan. Last night (Sunday) we treated ourselves to a hotel bed for the night in Dongola. USD5, corrugated roof with air conditioning and a view of the night sky, luxury bidet dug out in the floor and lots of other strange little occupants sharing our cell. We hit tarmac - not literally you will be glad to hear - and we believe it is tarmac all the way to Khartoum. Tonight (Monday) our cosy tents again. NG's interior lighting is attracting some little visitors. I have just cooked a delicious meal of reconstituted pasta carabonara and am eating it while watching the fantastic African night sky and looking out for snakes. Almost takes me back to the old days on the game reserve in Zululand. About 150 miles tomorrow heading south and we should arrive in Khartoum.
Mick if you read this, meet us in the Meridien about midday.
