Riding the bus to Eilat, Israel
Early, early departure. Ziad picked me up at my hotel in Jerusalem at 0:dark thirty to go to the bus station where I had a reserved ticket for the 5 hour ride down to Eilat and the Jordan border crossing.

Steffen peed through the barbed wire into Egypt right in front of an armed Egyptian guard on a watch tower. He's still alive to tell the tale. On the way we …
