Since setting off on our bicycles from Cairo in January we’ve had some adventures, some hardships and some highlights. What else can you expect from a trip across mother Africa?
There have been tailwinds, headwinds and sandstorms. There have been midges that made us think we might be slap-bang in the middle of one of the ten plagues. There have been sunrises, sunsets and moonrises, children throwing stones in Ethiopia and elections in Kenya. There’s never a dull moment in Africa … and that’s just the way we like it!
Leaving the Pyramids early on a Friday morning. Wondering what the next four months will hold
One of many awe-inspiring sunrises
Crossing Lake Nasser on a very African ferry. Goodbye Egypt, hello Sudan
Calm before the storm in the Sudanese desert
The first hour of a two-day sandstorm in Sudan. Not for the fainthearted
A Sudanese man, kind enough to pose while being sandblasted in the face
Working in extremely hot temperatures in the middle of nowhere. Respect
Climbing up the Blue Nile Gorge in Ethiopia
A dust devil attacks an Ethiopian child with a sheet of corrugated metal. Run!
