Luxor and the Feluka

Just a list of words and phrases today.

1. Hot, hot, hot
2. Nubian village of lilac, burnt orange and sky blue colours full of lively children wanting to own us
3. Communal sleeping room for our group with sandy courtyard, arch doorways, lace curtains and air conditioning unit.
4. Waking up with the rising sun and sipping sweet Egyptian tea in the sandy courtyard whilst the children buried their glasses in the sand to keep their milky tea warm.
5. Sunset walk to the nearest hill to see the colours come alive
6. Sailing up the Nile and dipping feet into the cool water on every second tack.
7. Sunburnt knees!!! 8-\
8. Egyptian tea with one sugar
9. Sandy river banks for a stop over and a swim... or if you prefer, sipping tea in the shade of the feluka whilst standing waist deep in the Nile
10. Silly word games. 10 Push ups for each time you say feluka, hot, water, mine or Intrepid. Its been my day off the game since Tuesday.
11. Digging our own toilet and erecting a chest height curtain around it! :-(
12. Sleeping on the feluka
13. Arrive in Luxor
