Overland Solo Ride through Sudan During the Revolution - EP. 51

Salam! Hello! Do you have water? That's nice. 1919, yeah? Sudan. Australia, Sudan. Two years. Two? Where are you from? I was born in Poland, but I immigrated to Australia in 2006. I came from Australia. Two years. From Australia to Sudan. Thank you. That was lovely. That was super nice. Sudanese people are such nice people. They're just really kind and no one wants to take advantage of you. It's really nice to travel through this country. Breakfast was yummy. The coffee was awesome. I got the water. Life is good. Now, where's the main road? Hi! I think that was there. And we're back. I just didn't trust them. They were in the middle of the tree, so I didn't know if I should stop or not. Maybe I shouldn't go through here. You can really sense that there's something in the air. Something is going on. There's lots of people doing very random things. So, I've got... What have I got? I've got around 50 kilometers to this little city where I want to stay for the night or two. There's a guest house. And see how the situation is going to develop. I just don't know who to trust and who not to trust. Everything is so new. But definitely, there is a tension in the air. You can feel it. Anyway, I know I'll be fine. I'm not panicking just yet. See? When there's police, they don't stop. But these guys before, they didn't look like there were police and they're trying to stop me. That's why my feelings about it are a bit negative. So, I'm glad I didn't stop there. All these fuel stations on the way and no fuel. So, to the nearest petrol station, I think I've got around 90 km. Which should be okay. All clear. I'm not sure. I don't want to miss my turn again. I'll have to look at the map. I stopped to turn to the city. I kind of thought I was being lost because of my fuel. Dongola? Thank you. This looks like a big line, but I think they told me to just go in front of it. Thank you. Okay, this is not nice, but I'm going to push in. Petrol? Thank you. Petrol? Here? Full. And here. Hotel. Straight. Left. Thank you. I think he meant here, left. Okay, let's see. Okay. I think I missed it. Let's go back. Oh, Lord Hotel. Really? Here? Right. Okay, let's see. Salam. How are you going? Good. Is this hotel open? Sorry, this is my hotel. I'm staying here because I desperately need a shower and I need to charge my battery. So I'll have a look. This is my room. And the bathroom. Oh, wow. Masalam. So I just tried to register because that's what you have to do here in Sudan. Up to three days you have to register yourself at the police station. But they said I don't have to. So I'm not sure if they just didn't know what I'm talking about. Or the situation has changed and I don't have to do it anymore. Anyway, I'll try in the next town. Lunch break. Salam. End of break. Looks like there's no petrol. No benzine? Right. Well, I guess I'm going to have to be here a couple of days. Because I can't go further without the petrol. There's one more. Let's try that one. Benzine? Okay. I'm in trouble. I don't know what I'm going to do. Anyway, I'll ask at the hotel. Maybe they have some petrol from the black market. I'm a bit stuck. Help me. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Perfect. Shukran. Hold on. Shukran. Sure. My savers. That was fun. So I've heard there's benzine. As you can see, far out. I'm going to sneak in through here. I'm just going to go against the traffic. They're nice like that. Just let me push in. This is really messy. Salam. Mas salam. Police? Not sure what that was, but it just went past. How are you? Thank you. Mas salam.
