Monday 31 March (day 31)
We stopped in Abri – the largest market town north of Dongola in search of brunch. We are befriended by a local Nubian (who now lives in Khartoum but is home for the wek). He speaks excellent English and guides us around. Firt to a small place that serves us coffee, tea, ful (beans) and fried fish for breakfast. And then to the butcher, baker and a secret sour to get some Nubian cheese (like soft feta). With our provisions in hand we head off agin winding thorugh the small villages along the Nile. We stop at the 3rd cataract. The lookout point is a steap, rocky climb, and we put the Landie in low diff lock and drive up the slope. We love this car! As the afternoon wears on we pick a site on a bluff overlooking the Nile and make camp. We will do the final kilometers to Wadi Halfa tomorrow.
