Finally arrived at Cairo Airport, picked up the bike box, and my extra bag, ADHAN was waiting for me and took me straight to the Australian Hotel. Like a backpacker place. Threw everything in the room, just like home, didn't bother to clean the place up as it's not mine, and went downstairs hailed a cab and headed off to the Sudanese Embassy. The embassy is like a little shop, but at $100 US a visa, it does at roaring trade. Saw a couple of tourists who looked like they were doing the tour, but too early to make myself known to them. I'm sure they'll know who I am by the time I terrorize them for 4 months. Just spoke to Graciella and Matt via video link, and both look pretty tired after not sleeping last night. I thought she would have slept like a log spreading all out over the bed. (like usual). I haven't had a chance to go over the donations from paypal but it will happen shortly. Now bugger off and let me have a sleep.
I would like to thank Allan and Penny Dale of Ulladulla for their kind donation to Cairo to Capetown 2011.
I would also like to acknowledge Mr Kieran McLeod for his help in video editing and setting up my website. I should have mentioned this on Saturday night, but was a little bit busy.
I've always had a passion for cycling since I was young child. I've been fortunate to travel to many places through racing and touring over the years. I recently completed a 4 month tour of Eastern Europe with my good friends Peter Felvus and Len DeMoss, now it's time to take on South America. On the 28th July 2014 I will ride over 11,000kms to reach the bottom of the world. Come along and join me on another amazing journey.
Glad you made it safe and sound.
