Today we got a chance to sleep in till 7am. Rider meeting was 8am and at 9.15 we were on our way for a leisurely ride to the Harbour. The weather in Awan is getting really hot so when the ship decides to leave we might get a bit of coolness from the breeze on Lake Nasser. The TDA was very fortunate as we got the opportunity to ride across the high dam and ride all the way to the boat. This allowed for the luggage truck to drive all our belongings to the ship, otherwise it would have been a 1km task of carrying our gear to the ship. I didn't feel like carry all my stuff that far, that would have cracked me. We waited at the harbour under the burning sun to board the ship. Firstly the bike, through the hoards of people getting on the ship and trying to load 50 billion ton of crap onto a ship which was clearly not meant for it. I don't really care, just as long as we make it to Sudan tomorrow I'll be happy. I got cabin with 2 other guys, the problem there's only 2 beds. I hope age prevails, otherwise I'm sleeping on the deck with a billion other people. Well now I'm just sitting down doing nothing just waiting for the ship to leave. We were told it leaves at 4pm, I reckon 7pm might be closer.
