From Jeddah to Sudan by Ferry

The ferry is an old Egyptian Ro-Ro and pretty basic - we have a few little fellow passengers travelling with us of the insect kind. When the cleaner arrived he just sprayed air freshener around and left - our towels are like little serviettes and we had just 1 each. Still stuck at customs at  3.30pm and 700km to go today. Local authorities now asking for $80/car to let us go. Should just get to hotel at Gederef by the time we need to set off again to get to Ethiopian border tomorrow afternoon. 

The road is apparently pretty good so we'll see. Filling up with fuel might be a problem at night so we'll be filling our cans at the first opportunity. Taking care now with water and food and have started on the Malaria tablets. 




Arriving at the port, Sudan




Our 2 litre standard non-turbo powerhouse. Last time anyone worked on this was in Japan. See larger radiator. We keep being asked if it is an intercooler...
