It took us a while to get out of Khartoum since getting Diesel is a problem right now (only on the black market or waiting in a queue that seems to not move at all). The rough goal was to go to Al-Ubayyid (or Al Obeid) and via Kosti back to Khartoum.

Finally we left Khartoum. It’s fine to spend a night or two in the capitol but then I need to get out.
We drove up north into the desert. Well, you don’t have to drive far away from the Nile in order to encounter barren lands but still the desert is another thing altogether. However, there is no one desert. It has many shapes.

How do you travel these times? The adventure starts already before you fly or even pack. I had to find a health center that would give me a PCR test in English. While the Bavarian government pays Covid-19 tests they obviously don’t pay for an English version. Initially, I had to find one that was open on the weekend as I wanted to fly Monday (that changed). The one at the München airport costs 130 EUR, whereas the on in Nürnberg only 70 EUR (obviously my choice). Then you wait for the results and hope that it is negative, which always makes me smile because that is positive 😉
The end
The traveling has come to an end.

Last blog post ended on my way to Hondarribia. I obviously made it and met with a dear friend. It truly felt great to be able to talk with her face to face about my life and feel I am not alone. I am blessed with great friends. The only thing that hurts a bit is that, through the life I was living, I have friends spread all over the world. It’s beautiful in the way that I am never without friends wherever I go. But I would like to have them all close at my new home (wherever that will be). But I wouldn’t want to change a thing about my past. I met wonderful friends with completely different backgrounds. A true gift from life
