Ahmed, that’s the most important person at the moment, deciding about the fate of our little adventure. With Egypt going back to political chaos and Ahmed, who normally answers email within minutes, going silent, we’ve started to get a little bit worried. However, today Ahmed has resurfaced. All documents are fine he said but he expressed concerns about the our planned stop in Port Said – the port of entry and one of the three cities currently under martial law. At this point, we’re not overly concerned as we think the media are – as so often – exaggerating and we have Achim who prentends to know Egypt well. We’re looking forward to learning what Ahmed’s contingency plan avoiding Port Said will look like and in the meantime we continue with our flight preparations which at this point mainly consist of writing this blog.
