On the frickin' Nile!

So after Aswan we embark on a two day Felluca ride down the Nile to Luxor. A felluca is a sail boat with a massive flat mattress covered bit we just lazed about on for two days, these mattresses where covered in material with Winnie the Pooh playing basketball... so Egypt.
It was fantastic. Although the wind meant we spent most of the time sitting on the banks of the Nile. It was fully catered and we had some beers so we had a great time maxin and relaxin in the sun. When ever we stopped locals would always appear trying to sell stuff, to talk to us or just to see what was up. I love the locals, although the ones that see a lot of tourists can get annoying asking for 'bashesh' (a tip), and repeatedly saying "hello, hello, hello, bashesh, hello, hello" until we moved on. Fair enough though, everyone loves free money.
Ros, Trevor, Ahmed, Karen and a ridiculously good looking stranger enjoying some beers and shisha on the banks of the Nile... I think I am living the dream.



Yes, yes I am in fact living the dream.

Keep it real people. I love you all.

    Some very exciting places- ak47's and all. I suggest that sheka?(the doobie like stuff) is a "sometimes" activity, not to be PC and tell the cookie monster that 'C' is for cookie a sometimes food etc.
    But sounds like the tour is having a grand old time on the tour- very authentic- with pooh planying B-ball.
    Keep it real man

  2. Keep up the good work tony. I am enjoying following your trip from afar. You're right, no need to email anymore! See you in Istanbul! Shall we make it at the nearest sheesha shop rather than the nearest ouzeri?

    "hello, hello, hello, bashesh, hello, hello" - I might try this in the square 2moro, i'll never have to work another day in my life.
