The Boyz traded their bikes for something stylish with four wheels.

Les, the real coffee connoisseur.

Mark, enjoying the coffee.

The Burj-Al Fateh Hotel.

The Sudan National Museum.

Mmm, this is quite a good read.

Sorry, what did you say?

Mark, sizing up his opponent.

If only I was born a woman.

The local market.

The spice market.

Even our taxi runs into problems.

Khartoum Was Gordon still there? Les & Mark (and the rest of the team of course)...we've been enjoying your trip since Port Alfred and before, especially as I've just been reading Ted Simon's "Dreaming of Jupiter" (where he tracks your route in reverse), . .more so I know of the terrain you've been over. It is a fabulous idea and an amazing adventure - I'm very envious, both of your experiences and your determination to make it happen. But does it beat standing on a Scottish hillside in driving snow with an eccentric kilted Scotsman? We raise a glass to you all... Slàinte Mhath! . .less by Ross Marshall on July 06 2009, 23:37 Find this comment inappropriate? Report it

Khartoum This looks like an interesting place - love the markets - amazed that the local taxi's aren't aware of the great ditches in the roads!!! Your time is getting short now and I wonder how you are all feeling - relief (?) or sadness that this amazing . .more adventure is drawing to a close - enjoy the last few days! . .less by Marilyn on July 08 2009, 09:44 Find this comment inappropriate?
