Can't Go Over It...Can't Go Around It...Can't Go Through It...Gotta Go South!

Sudan* has posed the greatest visa problem for us so far. Now in Addis, applicants must contact a travel agent in Sudan and even submit to some type of blood test (although we never figured out for sure what that was all about).

If we fly to Cairo (too expensive!) we still run the risk of not getting into Libya (big NO from the Libyan embassy in Addis) so, we have now decided to go south (hugging the coastline all the way) through Kenya, Tanzania, and Mozambique to South Africa.

*Faithful blog readers may be wondering when we were ever going north...but we had been secretly planning a summer in the Mediterranean to get a vacation from the travellers life.

Hopefully South Africa will have the desired effect!
