Late morning Monday 18th we packed up and were transferred to our boat on the Nile. Said farewell to our driver Emed; we will catch up with him again after we fly back to Cairo.
The huge cruise boats are moored four abreast. We were led across the first one, as ours was the second from the wharf. There are dozens of boats; must be downturn time, because this is the tourist season - it's unbearably hot in the middle of the year. We will have four nights on board, heading south to the Aswan Dam and Abu Simbel. Lunch was served; it would have done us for dinner - canelloni filled with mince first, then a small plate of veal, potatoes and peas.
So now I'm sitting in an Internet cafe just along the river bank, bringing the blog up to date. Not sure when I'll be able to blog again, but don't worry, I'll be save on the boat, visiting - guess what? More temples of course. Lots of love to my family and friends. Thanks for comments posted.
