I just got my flight tickets for my trip to Sudan next week.
I was dismayed to discover that I had to stay in Khartoum on their weekend (Friday and Saturday). I will fly from Kuala Lumpur to Dubai on Malaysian Airlines on Tuesday. From Dubai on the same day I will fly to Khartoum and arrive at 6.25 pm.
I have to attend meetings on Wednesday and Thursday. I had hoped to catch a flight on Friday and be back in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday, just in time for me to see the KL International Marathon on Sunday. But instead due to unavailability of air tickets on Friday, I have to stay in Khartoum on a weekend there : Friday and Saturday. I will only be leaving Khartoum at 8.00 pm and have to transits at two airports; Dubai and Singapore. My return flights duration including transit time will take about 18 hours.
Two days in Khartoum - what shall or can I do to occupy my time? Honestly, there is mot much to do or see in Khartoum. The US embassy website lists the places to visit in Khartoum here. I think I will visit two museums to pass the time away. There are really no places to go for entertainment as cinemas, karaokes, bars, discos are banned by the government. I have no plans to run while I am in Khartoum.
On Thursday, I ran at KLCC park with Newton and Cheong. I haven't meet the two guys for at least six months so we spend the time catching up on our respective running and exercise activities. I ran two laps with them and after they stopped, I continued another two laps with a fast pace last lap. Total = 5.2 km.
