Abdul Salam forfølger oss på veien mot sør. Hans ide om å ta inn på en politistasjon funket utmerket. Plan var at vi stoppet ved en stasjon og ringte opp Abd Salam slik at han kunne snakke med vakthavende. Som planlagt, så gjort! Vi hadde væpnet vakt hele natten og sjøl om vi ligger tjue meter fra hovedveien og det bråker så er dette helt supert. Selveste politimesteren kom innom campen vår for å hilse på.

We are taken good care of by Ter and his team here in Malakal. Erlend sleeps in one of the rooms inside the compound and Betsy and me are out on streets. We are happy to enjoy clean showers, toilet with this westernized seats of porcelain (if you know what I mean?) Plenty of water for personal hygiene and also Betsy's well being.

While we were waiting for the spare parts to show up from Khartoum, we did some maintenance and brush up with our lady friend. Erlend is trying to copy Jomar's fieldwork with bravour.

Team cape2cape on hold for a couple of days. The camping site was good enough, although an orchestra of wildlife kept us awake longer than appreciated. We could have parked away from the frogs the first night, as we still could move around, but it was so cosy down by the waterfront, so we choose to stay.

The next night, we had no choise. We were stuck and had to wait for our tractor on day three. My co-pilot Erlend didnt like this obstacle one bit and I agree, we dont have time to lurk around the swamps. We need to continue our journey.

Abd Salam, our special friend in Khartoum are still "with us". His idea of driving into a police station and ask for shelter worked as planned. We halted, called Adb Salam and gave the phone to the officer in charge. As my arabic still is a little bit "off the beaten track", I like to communicate in English. After a couple of minutes on chat between my friend and the police, we were welcome to stay outside the police fence, but with an armed guard the whole night. Although we were only a few meters away from the main road where the 32 meter long trucks passed by and rumbled with noice, this camping was top class. Even water and toilet facilities were offered to us.

This was Erlends first night out of the city of Khartoum and his first "wild camp", and I think it serves a special page in his memory book.

Standing in front of 15 policemen, taking a picture of Erlend and the officers early in the morning was spectacular.

Dette verkstedet ble et tvingende valg ettersom jenta mi ble svakere og svakere på mandagen. Servostyringen og bremsene virket ikke og til slutt så ville hun ikke starte så lett heller. Jeg kjørte av veien og spurte etter et verksted og folk løp rundt seg sjøl og var veldig villige til å hjelpe. Klokken ti på tirsdag hadde "min" mekaniker ikke kommet ennå, så vi får se hvor langvarig dette blir. Ni mann måtte til for å dytte dama bak verkstedet slik at jeg fikk litt privatliv.

På kvelden ble jeg invitert på vannpipe hygge. En av guttene spurte om jeg ville ha Marihuana, men der måtte jeg takke nei. Eplesmak på vannpipe tobakken minnet meg om Midt-Østen og Hebron, hvor Camilla Stabell var en racer til å røyke vann. Jeg viste noen dyrebilder til gutta og trakk meg tilbake.
