Written 26 Jan. Back on board, we had a delicious buffet dinner with lots of salad and beans for the first course and hot meat, fish and vegetables, followed by very sickly desserts. It is safe to eat the salad vegetables on the boat because they are washed in bottled water. I got my courage to eat salad for the first time in Egypt when no one was sick or upset after the first 24 hours.
Several of the women in our group had bought gabalyas - the burka style robes with gold embroidery down the front. Two of the men turned themselves into mummies with toilet paper. Rami, resplendent in a long plain robe, organised elimination games and then we danced for what seemed like hours.
