Egypt, Day 5: Felucca Misery

A whole day and night spent on a felucca, and not much point to it all really. No particularly interesting scenery or stops at cool places along the way. We had the opportunity to answer the call of nature in the great outdoors. The only nice thing was spending the afternoon playing games. When we stopped for the night, it was within sight of our destination. That just seemed strange. A few more minutes of sailing and we could have spent the night in a hotel or on one of the nice cruise ships instead of the hard deck of the boat. My back hurt for a while after that. And then, there was the food. It was cooked in the fresh, pure waters straight from the Nile. Needless to say, I didn't eat much. And extra special thanks to the dutch group who paid for exclusive rights to the toilets instead of sharing them as I understood to be the custom.
