My view on the places and people I meet along the way and especially on myself
Alright, last time I left you off in Fort Portal. We headed out in direction of the Simliki Wildlife Resort (not to be confused with the NP). It’s in a beautiful valley but the campsites were flooded and to spend over 100 bucks for a day was not in us.

Nearly leaving the Queen Elizabeth Park behind us we visited the Kyamburo Gorge, which lays on the eastern outskirts of the park.

…to see the king of the jungle.
But before I could do that I had some stressful days in Germany. Especially, since I decided to sell my RV before leaving to this trip. Alas, it is not sold yet but I have it at the same dealer I bought it from (and who sold my other one) and he is so kind as to sell it for me again. But that also meant that I had to get out all the stuff that was still in there, which felt like a move all-over again. Plus, I needed to do some repairs to get it in shape and clean it of course. Yes, yes, I would have had time all those months before. I know…but the decision to sell it was made quite hastily. In the end I thought I won’t need such a big RV anymore and it is more of a hindrance for me. Additionally, now should be one of the best times to sell it. RVs are sought-after due to the “pandemic”. We shall see 😀
And if that wasn’t enough, I decided to make 2 kilos of ice cream and 4 kilos of strawberry jam 
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.
