| Tutti Island in the Nile | | |
|
To celebrate the weekend, which is Friday and Saturday here in Sudan, we planned a visit to 'Tuti Island', a small island in the Nile, situated between de cities of Khartoum, Bahri and Ohmdurman. An acquaintance, who is also a driver, fortunately had some time to take us there in his 'hghias' (small bus). We had a nice time along the waterside; watching birds and a few young men in their kayaks on the Nile. Sometimes a boat would pass which made the men in the kayaks struggle with the waves (to great amusement of the locals sitting on the waterside!). After some time we decided to go back and we stepped back into the vehicle. We heard some interesting sounds and soon after, the driver said the brakes were not working properly. But he told us really not to worry; he would bring us home safely. He kept his word, he brought us home safely. Unfortunately he probably needed to use the rest of his weekend to repair the damage.
