Sailing from Aswan to Luxor

Sailing down the Nile was amazing. It was nice to have a few days to observe some more remote area's along the Nile and catch some of Egypts rural beauty. Nothing but the sound of wind and rushing water for three days. Aside from Vicky being not so pleased initially that there was no bathroom facility on board eveything else was great. Our boats cook was excellect, and an iced cooler asured an ample supply of cold beer and wine.




The boat we sailed on was "The Nile Corcodile" (not crocodile). Here it is view from a hill on the Nile's banks.





Along with being exceptionally stylish, this headscarf also helped to protect my fragile pink skin from the Egyptian winter sun.




These boys lived near a beach we docked at on our second night. Again we were given the opportunity to buy beads and trinkets. They were cute.












On our last night, our boats crew (of three) got together with another boats crew (of 3 or 4), broke out the drums around the campfire and had a sweet sing along. Unfortunately I took the footage before I joined in the singing. The guys got a real kick out of me because I got so into the music. It was so fun.
