Let's get it started

Te visa is finally in my passport. A ticket to the boat, together with a lot of american dollars are in my wallet. I'll wake up early tomorrow morning and head down to the port in Aswan. Probably a long day of waiting, but then! Sudan coming up! And I'm excited!

The last ten days in Egypt have been great in many ways, but in the same time a bit annoying, I'm just waiting. Sudan feels like one of the biggest things of this trip and I've been really worried about visas and boat tickets since I arrived in Cairo. But everything was sorted out today and now I'm just excited again.

Not sure if I'll be able to post any updates from Sudan, but I'll find out in a couple of days. Otherwise I'll be back again in Ethiopia.

Keep up!

My new friend, The Nile

Yesterday I had my last glimps of The Mediterranean Sea. I said "Hello, Goodbye" to one of my best friends the last couple of weeks in Alexandria before it was time to head back to Cairo again. Luckily I won't be left alone now. I have a new friend which I'll remain close to the coming weeks, The Nile! I don't know why, but it feels a little bit more exotic.

Some days here in Cairo, but tomorrow it's about time to get on the road again. Another nightbus will take me down to Luxor where I'll do the last preparations before boarding the ferry to Sudan on Monday.

Everything is just perfect here in Cairo at the moment. It's been a little bit to hot during the day, but now, when the sun is going down, it's just so great. No more time or inspiration right now, but you'll hear more from me before I'm moving on to Sudan.

Keep up!

Pictures coming up! Finally!

Yes! I've finally found a place where the internet-connection is good enough for uploading pictures. Of course I couldn't connect my camera to the computer (everything can't be perfect...), but here are some older pictures from Turkey, Syria and Lebanon.

I'm in Dahab, Egypt, at the moment and I'll stay for two more days. It feels like paradise right now. Snorkeling in the Red Sea during the day and relax at the balcony (with the same sea five meters away) in the afternoons. Kind of like my life over here. Will give it another try with the camera tomorrow and hopefully I can give some more pictures from Syria, Jordan and Egypt, including one of the best pictures ever of me. You better look forward to that! Also some more writing tomorrow night.

Coming up now: 13 pictures from my life between Kiruna and Cape Town. Enjoy!
