DOWN THE NILE FOR 3 DAYS (in a felucca)

The sunset cruise was very relaxing, and after some haggling/negotiations.... I hire the boat (built to handle up to 8 people) for next 3 days ... just me and the captain ..... to sail towards Luxor (we wont get all the way to Luxor .... about 5 day cruise by sail-boat....but we have an understanding that he will get me past half way there, and I’ll catch bus the rest of the way).

Ahmed is a Nubian (local tribesman), and informs me that its his cousin’s wedding tomorrow night ... and on our trip, we will dock in his village for the night, and attend the wedding (ie. I’m invited) ... should be interesting!!!

Obviously will be off-line next few days .... enjoying an amazing experience!!!

Ohhh... and here is the weather forecast:
