Day 13 Wadi Hafla further 149 Km

Day thirteen- Wadi Hafla further 149kms

Today was challenging. The morning ride eased us into a false sense of security as it went smoothly and beautifully. After lunch we were hit with a surprise brick wall of wind and an uphill climb...it was a fierce battle until camp for seventy kilometers. The Sudanese people keep astonishing me with kindness, they are the most welcoming people and great ambassadors to their country. They are considerate of cyclists and will stop to make sure that you are okay of you are stopped by the side of the road for any reason. A lot of them simply want to engage you to exchange information about where you are from and explain to you about their country. They are rightfully proud. You don't get the sense that they constantly want something for you, this is a mind shift after having lived in Egypt for so long.
