It was nice to return to the hotel, the shower and the air co. But alas, no European championship football on television. We have more than 200 canals but no football. So we missed the wonderful start of the Dutch team.
The next day again haboub and rain. It cooled down very well, but Khartoum is not used to rain. Immediately all the roads were flooded. The next day we heard that the weather also had had consequences for the air traffic. A plane had crashed, burnt out completely and there were many casualties. We can virtually look on the air strip but hadn’t heard or seen a thing. Today Khartoum was quiet, no planes coming in or going out. And it was cloudy but still very hot.

It was wonderful to relax here in a nice hotel, getting used to the heat before we continue with the next part of our trip. Thank you all friends in Khartoum, for your hospitality and for your company. It was great to show the boys the city we have so many fond memories of. We have had a wonderful time!
On Thursday 12 June we had a last meeting in Soba hospital. Helma was showed the pediatric department with the new dialysis ward, very impressive. We managed to find a sticker for the car and did some shopping. We went to the Chinese for our last meal in Khartoum.
On Friday 13 June we will leave Khartoum for Dongola and Wadi Halfa. Next week Wednesday we will take the ferry to Aswan, it only runs once a week. Until we are in Egypt I don’t think we will be able to update our weblog.
