If you love back roads and country driving, you would enjoy the Sudan road trip.
Our village was 1 hour and 30 minutes from camp, and the land rover made good time of the dirt roads,
mini lake pot holes,
"bridges,"
The strange thing is, once back in the states, it's hard not to miss the off-roading adventure that is an every day occurance in southern Sudan.
Justin told our team that in the states, off- roading is not allowed...you have to stay on the road! They thought itwas pretty funny.
Our first day out, the team member sitting in the front seat next to the driver reached for her seat belt and asked local ministry head D. Kaya if it worked.
He told her, "I don't recommend that thing." Bascially, the bumpy roads are more painful with the seatbelt than without...so that's how we rolled.

Interestingly, after I planned this blog or today I came across this article revealing a plan to build roads in South Sudan. It shows how they plan to connect all 10 states of the country, how badly they are needed and why. http://www.sudantribune.com/South-Sudan-minister-reveals,40642
