crossing the Suez canal


When we arrived in Nuweiba we knew that the formalities for entering a vehicle into Egypt could take several hours, it surely did. We finished completely exhausted by Egypt's outlandish bureaucracy where 5 photocopies were more expensive than a month insurance, but a full tank of diesel cheaper than 5 photocopies.

Eventually we got through after midnight with new number plates on the landy. After sleeping on a beach at the Red Sea we crossed the tunnel under the Suez canal and finally putted our feet on the African continent. What a beautiful sensation!
