From Port Sudan to Gedaref



The troubles with the police did not end yet: when i wanted to visit kassala on wednesday, the cops at the checkpoint at the outskirts of the city forced me to change the bus to go to gedaref. the problem was again the travel permit. i felt ashamed for the tears i was crying because of this ridiculous problem (i still have plenty of time to come back to kassala), compared to those of the poor people here, but my helplessness towards the police tied me into knots. i planned to go to gedaref later,as it's on the way to gonder (ethiopia) but kassala is much more beautiful, laying on the slope of a very impressive mountain. i hope i can get the permit for kassala tomorrow, after the office was closed on the weekend.

so far i don't have any further exciting stories to tell. i'm very disappointed how things went wrong and i wasted most of my time here in sudan, but on the other hand i'm looking forward to enter ethiopia next week. the permitterror will be over and i'll find endless mountain ranges to discover.
