This is to report that we have completed the journey through the
Sudan, and have crossed Lake Nasser into Aswan, Egypt.
Due to the 2-week limit on our transit visas, the majority of the time
in the Sudan was spent in rapid transit through the desert and up the
Nile, and then in a harried logistical exercise to get the vehicle
aboard a pontoon barge bound for Aswan.
We got in two days ago. The contrast between Egypt and Sudan could not
be greater. Even this Egyptian outpost has a feeling of
cosmopolitanism compared to the end-of-the-earth veneer to every place
in Sudan but Khartoum.
I will be in Cairo soon. From there I will be able to gather the
experience of transit into a few comprehensive posts. Till then.
