At approximately 9 am on 25th Dec, 2007, I received a phone call from a driver stating that four unidentified OGP personnel were in the camp. I was caught by surprise because nobody made any booking at the Bashayer 2 Resort since 21 Dec. I drove back to the resort and found the guys (Tuan Sabri and the gang) from PS 5 already in their respective room. It was a blessing because we had some business to do and kept us busy.
They made their own trip to Port of Sudan after brief breakfast of mee hoon goreng. They told me that they were inspired by earlier visitors that the city of Port Sudan offering excitement (old building like the "collesium" and they can drink coffee a few inches from ships at the port) and the night life has always been fascinating. Deep in my heart, the exaggerating tourism promotion by the previous tour group really convinced them. With the intention to verify the claims, they made a daring trip leaving PS 5 at 2:30 am on the same day. After the day trip around Port Sudan, they fall in love with the city and started comparing with PS 5 that can only offers dessert safari lifestyle. At night, I drove them to the "Pantai Lido" or "Bintang Walk" and drank "Jabana" while enjoying the night life and cool breeze. Later, we drove back to the resort and enjoyed "Mee Bandung Muar" and "Ikan Bakar" at the "takraw court" under the moonlight. We ate and talked until 1:30 am before everybody went to bed.
They checked out from the resort early morning of 26th Dec, 07 to PS 5 and stopped at Al Kawit for sight seeing. I hope they really enjoyed the brief trip and see us at Year 2008 Visit Port Sudan Tourism Promotion.
