Wadi Halfa
The most expensive hotel in Wadi Halfa costs a princely $5. In return for that you get 4 walls of sorts, a floor complete with cockroaches and pupae, a roof and two beds. The beds don't get changed but this is good as guests benefit from the leftovers of the previous occupants' dinner which lingers on the beds. As an added delight no real distinction is made between the loo and the shower which creates hazards for the bleary-eyed and bare-footed morning showerer. We arrived in Wadi Halfa in northern Sudan to catch the ferry up to Aswan. We arrived a few days early so spent a delightful couple of days camping out in the desert and by the Nile. Unfortunately the vehicle barge leaves before the passenger
ferry so for the last night we had to brave the local accomodation. It was special.
