Tuesday 1 April (day 32)

Disaster!!  The car is leaking oil.  There is no way we can push on.  Because we are in a lone desert site there isn't any way to get oil and we won't make it t Halfa in time to get the weekly ferry! 

Ha, ha.  April fools.  We pack up the car and drive the final stretch into Halfa.  There isn't much to the town and as we pull over and are wondering how to find our contact – he finds us.  All immigration and customs for Sudan to be done here and arrangements for the ferry to Aswan as well.  We meet up again with Carlo, do some paperwork, get some provisions and head back out into the desert for a last night of camping in Sudan.
