Goodbye Sudan

Sudan was absolutely fabulous! Friendly, beautiful (so far Ethiopia takes the cake for beauty) and endless freedom (in a space and nothingness perspective, not freedom of choice and from political oppression).

Our last few days in Sudan were tough due to the long distances (three days at 150km and two around 130km) and hectic headwinds we experienced. I had a slight tyre malfunction and broke a spoke … another one two days ago … aagghh! I was cycling quite hard and really enjoyed the last few days thru Sudan. Unfortunately a little stomach bug started making the rounds – that has hit nearly everyone to lesser or greater degrees … all the best to Nels who is really struggling and compliments to Andy (Scottie) who really didn't want to give up his EFI status … but passing out twice in ten minutes along the side of the road and not being able to stand without holding onto your bike … ;-) (sorry mate!)
