americans in sudan...NOT!
Hello,
Just tried to get a Sudanese visa from Addis Ababa today on my American passport. It took five seconds for the man here to give it a no-go. He said visas for Americans are only issued in Washington.
Our options:
1) Fly the bikes to Cairo (anyone with advice, I'd be much obliged)
2) Go through Djibouti/Yemen/Saudi Arabia (but is this even possible for Americans as well? Plus, we are two bikes, with one of the drivers being a woman. I seem to recall problems with women drivers in Saudi Arabia...)
3) Try sending our passports home so that our families can try to arrange visas for us (we have two sets of passports...no worries).
Suggestions? Comments?

P.S. Our japanese friend just finished his application today with a personalized letter from his embassy. They told him to come back in 10 days and maybe his visa application would be approved. No guarantees, of course.
