Cairo to Khartoum - done!

Section One is done!  We are now in Khartoum, brought safely in to the Blue Nile Sailing Club by a police escort with lots of staring onlookers.  Actually, they were most probably wondering what that awful smell was, as our 4 days in the desert, including a bonus sandstorm, left us all quite filthy and definitely less than fresh.

1960 kilometres of cycling has been pretty easy on us, with amazing tailwinds which we hope will continue!  Coming up, we have 2 more days of pavement, then we start to climb, off-road for 6 days. I think that might be more of a test than this last section!
