An Evening in Kilopatra Hotel; Wadi Halfa, Sudan

Nov52012

Nightlife in Wadi Halfa was definitely not that confusing: just listening to the television placed in the middle of the open floor and trying to sleep.

Finally Martin was fed up and secretly changed the wires of the TV set expecting a quite night without Bollywood’s latest blockbuster.

Far from reality – immediately some 20 persons declared themselves technicians and experienced IT- video – satellite -TV specialist. Everyone having his own theory on the functioning of satellite TV, the way the TV-set may work – including the role of the smart lady sitting inside the TV-screen reading BBC, CNN or more probably Al-Jaziira news led to a huge and extremely noisy discussion on how to treat the sick TV-set. It took 2 hours and the participation of some 200 more specialists until the quorum of technicians decided to prefer drinking tea to watching TV.

Here, silence prevailed again, we went sleeping enjoying the last night in Sudan in this beautiful hotel room Martin would even not recommend to his mother in law – still not knowing what to expect the next day!!!

The Ultimate Sight; Hargeisa, Somaliland
What the Hell is a Fixer; Khartoum, Sudan
