And then there was London.
Well this is it. It’s over. I can’t believe it.
I have reached London on Nov 27th, 2009.
That’s about 35000 km, 23 countries and 198 days later after I landed in Cape Town last May. I was initially not planning on driving all the way [...]
France. What can I say. It’s France…my ancestor’s home. Everything is amazing. Castle, road, people. It’s unreal.
I actually don’t know France very much so I was excited to be back.
I drove through Monaco on the way to Paris and then across the Alps.
On the freeway I saw this [...]
I reached Italy and spent a few days exploring Rome with a very close friend and his family. Rome is probably another highlight of the trip. And after 6-7 countries in which I could not speak the local language (Arabic, etc), it was really refreshing to be able to communicate – if only [...]
The last portion of this adventure was rather fast but noneless very interesting.
I passed first through Greece where I had my first flat on the journey.

Well, it is often said that a picture is worth a thousand words so here you go.
This is pretty much what I will remember of Syria.
I only drove a few days through the country but I cannot say that I have been impressed. I thought that Egypt was pretty bad with their trash everywhere [...]

The border crossing was rather straightforward. The “fast” ferry between Egypt and Jordan that is supposed to take 1.5 hour did take over 8 hours and costs me another $300US… but we finally made it.
Getting out of [...]
A love-hate relationship is a personal relationship involving simultaneous or alternating emotions of love and enmity. This relationship does not have to be of a romantic nature, and may be instead of a sibling one. It may occur when people have completely lost the intimacy within a loving relationship, yet still retain some passion for, [...]
There is only one entry point from Sudan to Egypt.
It took us a week to cross it.
Even though it may seem like fiction, everything here is true….
Day 1 – Monday
9:00 : We are in Khartoum. We go to Egyptian embassy to get our visas.
The line is around the corner. It is going [...]

Once in a while, you get that true feeling of discovery.
You’re a bit scared, a bit excited, and you can feel the adrenaline rushing through your body.
