A Restful Day

Today part of our group went on an extra excursion. They had to be up at 4 am for a 4 hour drive and several hours at the site and then a return drive. Bruce and I decided to stay behind which was really nice.

We slept until ten, spent some time on the upper deck, had lunch with a few people and basically chilled out. It was wonderful.

Later today we took a small boat ride along West Bank of the Nile.

Bob pointed out some of the sites along the River, such as the Cataract hotel where the likes of Agatha Christie and Winston Churchill stayed.

The Nubian boys on board were cute and led us in song and dance.

As the sun set we headed back to our ship taking in the beauty of the River.

Tomorrow we leave the ship and tour Aswan before flying back to Cairo.

In 2015, I retired and my goal was to do as much traveling as I possibly could. I started the blog for our first month long trip to Panama in October 2015. My sister Linda and her husband Stan joined Bruce and I on our first trip and we decided together on the name the four amigos. Since then, we don’t always travel with them, sometimes just Bruce and I, sometimes other people, whoever wants to join us on our crazy journeys. The name stuck and I grew an affinity to it. So here we are. I invite you to join thefouramigos blog on our next destination.
