Ally way of hotel all is good city of 6 million give or take a few .Dust haze all year round people every where, cars being fxed in the dirt ,wrecking yards by the edge of the road an organised form of chaos with rules ony the locals know.little donkey carts trotting around wth there freight on from steel c section to the bunch of vegetables.No road rules bit like Suth America and Asia biggest horn wins cause he is the biggest. Traffic all over the road along with people and the 3 wheeled taxi bikes some with there chariot like imitation sythes on ther axels as a decoration.
People are unbeliviably friendly even the customs people as they search through your bags .I had some 2 way radios which caused some concern and we are still in negotiation concerning the tax we need to pay, all in all a very civilised way to do do business if you have the negotiating power end.
the area is full of building and construction every where there a new houses and shops going up asll over the city.Of to meet some suppliers to morrow and meet the guys in the office up here in Khartoum and see The engineering company building our sheds for the workshop .boiler makers shed and our first Machinery shed.
Had a great day with Peter and Lindsa met ther great kids and then went and had dinner with John and Fiona which was fantstic John and fiona are involved in the Sabina project.The passion displayed by all for the projects was phonomenal and gave me even more confidences in my dission to come and I really look forward to working with them all,The girls a very passionate about what the boys are doing and could not be more suportative of there endevours.
