Still in Khartoum. Spent the day resting and planning the balance of our route to Cairo. There are a number of sites to see in the Sudan as this is an ancient place. The Egyptian kingdom at its height stretched all the way down into Ethiopia and there are temples and pyramids scattered all over the Sudan that are well preserved because of the hot and dry climate that we are keen to see.
It is SO hot here that it is just not practical to go out after 10am or before 6pm so eating, exercise (hotel has a great gym and pool), sleeping and catching up with the rest of the world has been the order of the day.
We had dinner at a great Lebanese restaurant called Assaha. At 8.30pm when we left to go to dinner, it was so hot it felt like wading through hot water. No pics today unfortunately as we have not left the coolness of the hotel.
