I manage to stay awake a bit more on the next part of the journey, as we pass wetlands where papyrus is grown in vast quantities.

The papyrus plant grows in water about one metre deep and can grow to a height of 4-5 metres. The stem, which at its widest is ca. 15cm, is triangular in shape to withstand high winds without breaking.
