Day In Pictures - Crossing the Nile into Sudan

Our crossing of the Nile River on Day 13 - (Stage 11) from Egypt to Sudan. You can read my original post about the day's cycling, crossing the river, rider shenanigans, and border officials, here.

After disembarking... we then cycled another 35 km after the Border Post, and arrived in the Town of Wadi Halfa. Exchanged some USD $ into Sudanese Pounds, and purchased our new data sim-cards, so that we could get onto the Sudanese Network. 

Well, that's ot for my Day 11's pictures.
I will try and keep in touch when possible, as we make our way across the Sudanese desert.

Cheers,
Mike T
