End of our Freedom for a while

Yesterday was the end of our vacation. Today we started our safari truck trek through northern Africa. It was obvious already that our lives are no longer our own. Here's the basic trek:
We leave Cairo tomorrow morning for the Western Desert and then head South, crossing into Sudan around Nov 14th. I expect we'll have email twice more before then. After that, I can only hope that we get a little bandwidth in Khartoum and Addis Ababa before we roll into Kenya.

We're following the trip until it reaches Nairobi around Dec 24th and then we'll hang out on our own for 6 weeks in Kenya and Tanzania before rejoining a different truck to finish the trip to Capetown.

Speaking of the truck, here's our new home:
We'll try to keep in touch, but I think we'll probably not get many photos up for quite some time. But who knows... The way we post, you probably won't even notice :)

In the meantime, you can check out the itinerary and more about the truck at:

I looks rough between Cairo and Kenya, and between Kenya and South Africa. Be safe.

unfortunately the only person that's allowed in the cab are the two guides and anyone policeman carrying machine guns, but atleast they're nice enough to take the bullets out. oh, and girls trying to pick up on our mechanic.
