The River #Nile, clearly cleaner in #Sudan than in Egypt, is a source of life in the #arid desert. It provides the drinking (?) water and essential #irrigation for agriculture. It also brings #freshness and #shade with all the vegetation growing on it's banks. Le #Nil, clairement plus propre au #Soudan qu'en Égypte, est source de vie dans ce désert #aride. Il est source d'eau potable (?) et d'#irrigation. Il apporte aussi de la #fraîcheur et de l'#ombre, grâce aux arbres et a la végétation qui pousse sur ses berges. #BikeWithDiabetes #Type1Diabetes #T1D #T1Diabetes #cycling #CycleTouring #adventurebybike #adventure #cairotocapetown #overlandingafrica #africabybike #rivernile #travel #travelbybike #cyclingjourney #solocycletouring #solotravel #voyageavelo #afriqueavelo
I am not the only one suffering from the dry and hot air in the desert. The cattle being exported from Sudan to Egypt pays a heavy toll as many cows die of dehydration along the way. They are pulled off the trucks and discarded next to the road, left to dry. Every few kilometres, I get a reminder of how important it is to drink and how precious water can be. Every few kilometres, I remember how lucky I am to be sponsored by a company like Aspac International - www.aspacintl.com - which provides clean water to millions of people in Central and East Africa. Clean water. I wouldn't be able to cycle across the desert without it. Je ne suis pas le seul à souffrir de la chaleur et de la sécheresse du désert. Le bétail qui est exporté du Soudan vers l'Égypte paie un lourd tribu, au vu des nombreuses vaches mortes, abandonnées et momifiées, le long de la route. Tous les quelques kilomètres, un cadavre me rappelle l'importance de boire et la valeur de l'eau. Tous les quelques kilomètres, je me rappelle la chance que j'ai d'être soutenu par une entreprise comme Aspac International - www.aspacintl.com - qui fournit de l'eau potable à des millions de personnes en Afrique Centrale et en Afrique de l'Est. De l'eau potable. Sans elle, je ne pourrais pas traverser le désert à vélo. #cycletouring #bikewithdiabetes #cycling #desert #desertroad #cattle #dehydration #deadcattle #cow #deadcow #sun #dryair #bikeadventure #adventurebybike #cyclingadventure #water #cleanwater #watersupply #solotravel #travelacrossafrica #overlandingafrica #cairotocapetown #voyageavelo #betail #deshydratation #vache #vachemorte #soleil #secheresse #noshade
Still on my way to Abri. The road is long. The air is dry and hot. Luckily, I'm helped by a #tailwind. --- Toujours sur la route vers Abri. La route est longue. L'air est chaud et sec.
