Just spent 4 days on a beautiful old cruise ship wandering down the Nile. Not too many people...some a bit old but a few like minded souls. The weather a constant 38 so we spent a bit of time in the pool.
Now we are on an island in a beautiful huge 5 star hotel.. very grand. We are visiting a Nubian village this afternoon. Was Othello a Nubian???

All is going well and we are looking forward to our next adventure in the Greek Island.
Hope you are all well and not too cold.
Love Heather

hi Sue and all,
Sorry but the blog wasn'tworking too well in paris, I'll get some postcards in Greece though.
Egytians are very friendly and funny but hassle the hell out of us on the streets to sell us things. Temples and tombs are amazing but if I see another one I'll just walk into the desert...Talk again soon
