Into Israel

A travel blog entry by alister.bland

... with minimal clothes. A "likely story" that I was a tourist - a tourist with no gear!!! And not that happy that I had been to Sudan. What did I do there? who did I see? where did i stay? ( bush camps didn't go down well). And Ethiopia too seemed to be an issue. And the story of the overland truck didn't ring true with them - where are the other passengers?
