We sailed up stream, stalled, sang a Nubian song, bought some trinkets, and then laid dead in the water waiting for a tow back. Ah, Egyptians and fickle breezes.
The continuing adventures of Tom and Bobbie Lucido and the World Travel Club...this year we descend upon the Mediterranean starting in Madrid. We will travel through Andalusia to Portugal. Flying to Casablanca we travel to Marrakech before departing for Munich where we will spend a day exploring before catching our continuing flight to Turkey. Next we will board a Greek Isle cruise. We’ll visit ancient Greece before ending our nine week journey in Egypt and Jordan.

Afternoon Felucca boat ride
A felucca is an ancient style Nile sailing boat still on use today. This afternoon we enjoyed a few hours on the water circling Elephantine Island viewing the gardens of Lord Kutchner and other prominent monuments. It was a pleasant and quiet activity-perfect after the early morning start and seven hours of driving.
