Egypt

There is so much relaxing to do on the felucca, it felt we had no sooner finished our pancake breakfast when lunch was served. A few more hours of cruising before we docked at a town called Daraw to go see camels & the local market. Not overly exciting stuff, but I think it was an excuse to break up the day a little so we didn´t get bored on the boat. After an hour or so back on board, we stopped for the night & set up camp (the loo).

Unfortunately dinner was postponed due to the cook running out of gas. One of the crew disappeared for a while, whilst dinner continued cooking on an open fire & a short while later, a new gas bottle was delivered by donkey. Problem solved, but I'd love to know where the gas bottle came from because we were docked on a farming island, which I can´t imagine too many people lived on.

The other group only spent one night on the felucca, so it was just us on the second night. There wasn´t much wood available, so we couldn´t have a fire I ended up going to bed early for lack of light & nothing better to do.
