The Natives are Restless

Hi there,
For those who have heard about the unrest in Khartoum a quick note to say the curfew has been partially lifted and we hope to head off tomorrow for Ethiopia. We were able to get the visas today which surprised us as the city is completely closed down with police and army on most intersections. The fighting was on the western side of the river, we are on the eastern.
On the bright side, the hotel we have stayed in the last couple of days has an Indian restaurant that served the best Indian food we have tasted in many a year.
We have also caught up with Reidar and Ellen and are travelling together tomorrow.
All the best
Gary & Joan
