Still in Khartoum

We didn't get out out Khartoum today because of last night's crash and we're back at Canada House. We sat at the airport from 7:30 to 12:30 at which time they announced the flight to Juba had been cancelled. We then sat at the airport for another almost two hours waiting for someone to pick us up and take us back to Canada House. I drank three Pepsi's during the waiting around and a Coke with our late lunch at 3:00. That sort of compensates for the flight cancellation!

The flight to Juba is supposed to go tomorrow morning instead, we have to be at the airport at 6:00. Still just Wayne P., Rory, Jas and I going; Scott and Charles are staying put for the time being.

Still confusion about how many actually died in the crash. We saw the burned out aircraft as we were driving to the airfield this morning. Only the tail section still intact. They always say the rear of the plane is the safest place to sit!!

Tomorrow is mefloquin (anti-malarial) day for me. I should have great dreams on the flight.
