MARSA ESH SHEIKH
Suakin was a pretty amazing place, more living ruin than town but after a week it was time to move on.
An ubiquitous sight in Suakin is the donkey drawn water tanker so we snapped one before leaving.  Notable features are that they seem to be made from two oil drums welded together, and the wheels rarely have bearings.  They cut up old sandals and put holes in them then hold the wheel on with the sandals and an old nail or bolt.
We did some early morning shopping for a fresh fish, eggs, yoghurt and veggies then it was off to Marsa Esh Sheikh, where we arrived at 1430 local time.
