When Your Ship Has Come And You Can’t Get Off – Welcome To Egypt
/7 Comments/in Africa, Egypt, Sudan, Travelogue /by allanAnother night with no sleep. My roommate slept soundly but I was sweating in my sleeping bag and only tucked my body in there because I just didn’t like what was crawling around the place. I eventually gave up and just lied on the thing until I heard screaming children. I got up to do […]
Casey Jones. Riding The Train of Dreams in Sudan.
/2 Comments/in Africa, Sudan, Travelogue /by allanAfter a peaceful yet sandy night sleeping in the shadows of two thousand year old pyramids in the Nubian desert, I had to make some hard decisions.

The large uniformed man with a scary scar on his forehead took my papers, carnet and passport and asked if […]
Longest, Hottest & Most Tiring Day In Africa.
/0 Comments/in Africa, Europe, Travelogue /by allanAs the birds started singing their morning songs I dragged myself out of bed and took a hard look in the mirror. Yeah. I looked tired alright. I convinced myself I felt better. I did feel better. A few of my neighbors were up and quizzing me as I loaded tied my Ortlieb bag to […]
Making Friends. Sick In Bed.
/3 Comments/in Africa, Ethiopia, Travelogue /by allanI think I’ve got malaria. I want to just sleep. I’m shivering. I can’t eat. At the Belegez Pension I’m curled up in my small cozy room while I can hear my new friends chatting, milling about and making phone calls. I guess bad news came to Gareth & Helen.
