A few nights ago, it
rained heavenly! Naturally, rain is very refreshing for everything and everyone
here in the North of Sudan. Unfortunately the morning after, you mostly find the
unpleasant consequences of these rare waterfalls. Besides the watery roads I
told you about earlier, it also seems to be an unwritten ‘rule’ that problems
with the electricity occur after every rainy night. In Kosti, Frank has
experienced quite some ‘electric fire works’ in the last few weeks: exploding
light bulbs, lightening electricity cables next to the house and regular
breakdowns of the electricity network in the house and office. Here in Khartoum, I have had some problems
with my internet connection since last week’s rainy night. It seems to be a bit
better today, so I will quickly try to catch up with the blogs you been missed
out on! You never know what tonight’s possible rains may bring; not to mention
the consequences the morning after.
