Quick breakfast before WAMC departs for the airport. Amman-Cairo then 10hrs confined in Cairo airport waiting until the overnight flight. We’ll meet again in Jo’burg in a few weeks.
Uneventful day catching up on emails, blog and diary. First day in a month of travel of being stationary. Much needed!
Skype my chauffeur and ask what she’s doing tomorrow afternoon, “Why? Do you want picking up?” Erm…..yes, please.
Slightly sad that I’ll not be doing the route as planned. Always knew from the start that the two countries that could cause problems were Egypt and Sudan so not so surprised. Am a great believer in “there’s a reason for everything”.
So, the revised plan is thus. Pit-stop in Nottingham for a week or so. Resume trip in Addis Ababa week after next. Continue to Dar es Salaam to meet the cruise train which departs 3-Sept-13. Inshallah.
