Dispatch: EGYPT June 27th, 2008
ChihoandIareinEgypt. Yesterday we left the African continent and we are now in a small town called Nuweiba on the Sinai peninsular. Many things have happened in the last few months.
In Uganda I was persuaded to shoot down some huge rapids of the Nile River in a rubber boat instead of writing a dispatch. In Kenya I spent all my time underneath my Land Rover
repairing prop shafts, replacing rubber bushes, brake pads, engine oil, gear box oil, filters, etc...
In Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s capital, I was struggling to find a decent internet connection, which I finally found in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan. But I didn’t have time to write a dispatch there either, because I spent my days and nights under my Land Rover once again,
changingwheelbearings, engine oil and fixing tires. All this happened on Sudan’s only camp site at 45 degrees celsius. That’s 113 degrees fahrenheit.
In Northern Sudan and Southern Egypt I got sick with a bad cold and fever despite the incredible heat and I barely managed to sit up straight in my driver’s seat.
