Negotiate like an Egyptian…..
Monday, June 19th, 2006Our trip down (remember South to North) the Nile continued courtesy of a giant cruise boat, The Miss World. It was us two, Craig (our new travelling buddy) and about a hundred of our closest Russian friends. Unknown to us the Russians love to travel during the off-times and don’t mind enduring the heat as they have some of the most creative outfits we have seen worldwide. Well, the Miss World took us along the Nile riverbanks which allowed us to view the locals at work and play. We also docked at a few stops along the way in order to view some of the temples located along the shore and, more importantly, restock our supply of Stella (not Artois) beer as it cost over 6 times more on the boat! Although the scenery is beautiful as you coast down the Nile refreshments make the time much more interesting as Craig taught us…just kidding buddy!
