Welcome to Wadi Halfa

Finally we get to Sudan. This place is awesome. No more tar sealed roads, just sand. Welcome to the desert life again. We made it through the Western desert (too easy, had sealed roads). Now for the Nubian desert (proper style with nothing but sand).

Sudan is said to be the least visited country in all of Africa. The ferry only goes once a week and the sum total of tourists were:
1. Our oasis truck
2. Five Swedes doing an awesome trip from Sweden to Kenya in two specially modified land rovers.
3. Two Germans in a specially modified land rover.
4. A lone traveller guy with a beard and a family back in Europe. Hard core travelling on his own using the public transport. Respect!

That is it. No more tourists from the Egyptian side for a week. We are pretty much it. This place is awesome.
