Re: First rain in 30 years

I don't recall the name of my tour boat but I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. lots of good beef and excellent pastries.


I found it amazing that so much of the land along the Nile. that far south, is totally unchanged during the last 5,000 years.

Oh, dear, you must do Cairo, the Giza Plateau, Saqqara step pyramid and Memphis, but The Egyptian Museum of Antiquities is beyond belief. I spent 3 whole days inside that museum.

What we didn't realise while we were sunning ourselves on the deck was that militants sometimes take pot shots at the boats as they pass along certain areas.

Yeah, I 'm aware of that. There was a place in the desert I wanted to see just North of Aswan but the military will not let you go out there without a strongly armed escort.
