Day 5- EGYPT- Sailing along the Nile in a Felucca!

A blissful day of relaxing in the sun and enjoying the views, as the felucca plies its course along the Nile. We swam, sunbathed and chilled out with a few beers and by night slept out under a blanket of stars once again. Another amazing day in Egypt!!

Views from our 'toilet' stop...Breakfast time!Nile views....A stop to stretch the legs....Nic and our felucca....Me and our felucca....The felucca started sailing before i got on and boy did i struggle, dont worry though Nic got it all on camera, damn her!!!Local Nubian boys were swimming after us trying to hop onto the felucca!
Brock chilling in the sunshine...Sunbathing twinnie! 5 of us girls got matching henna tattooes at the local Nubian house last night, we're so cool!!
After a morning of sailing it was time to stop for some lunch and a swim and to catch up with the others in the other two feluccas!
We're in the Nile!!!Nic and Lisa! Me slightly cold, but once i was in i was a-ok!
Anna relaxing! Ball coming straight for Lisa, good one Brock!
Brock getting a little too comfortable??!Off sailing again- Bob Marley felucca!Time to settle on the banks of the Nile for another night and for the mast to come down. One of the crew climbed all the way to the top to do it, insane!!!Amazing sunset!!!!Watching the sunset.....
Then it was time for a bonfire, traditional Nubian dancing and games!!!!Awesome night!!!!
