We reached border check point of Uganda at 8 am. Crowd of the cars, dust, congestions… Then there were some 8 kms to the check point of South Sudan. Again I spent a lot of time in the line with the crowd of the pushing people.
Finally I got a stamp in the passport and they registered my name and nationality on the dirty piece of paper. I am in the South Sudan!
It is different world here: Different culture, different language. They call ma – the white man – Khaladya!
We started our drive to juba and through the dirty window of the bus I saw some on the most exotic African landscapes: villages full of traditional huts, poor people waiting at the only water pump in the village, savanna…
At 3 pm I saw again the Nile River – we crossed the bridge to Juba. Welcome to the hot capital of the South Sudan!
Dirty, sweaty, tired I found accommodation in the Episcopal Church of Sudan guesthouse. They charge 50 USD for the fan room. Juba on the outskirts of the civilized world is very expensive place – the average room in the hotel or camp cost like 100 USD. Lets have a rest after all those adventures!
