Another lovely drive mostly through countryside and along a lovely river. Just a few photos again
We stopped at another lovely farm which is in the ‘wilderness’. Two horses and lots of wheat! Village is right behind us.
Made a chicken curry and Dahl for dinner coupled with a few Caiparhinas. My new favourite drink.
Paul needed some downtime from the driving so we didn’t venture anywhere.
I’ve been mulling over whether I would have preferred a Kontiki type tour on a bus visiting all the big tourist attractions and Skite about all the amazing cities I’ve been in. I thinking it’s FOMO!
On reflection, I know that most people have not and will never visit the places Paul and I have been at and will never recognise these names. But we have had the most amazing time doing it this way! We have most enjoyed the spaces we have pulled up at and the lovely people we have met. I don’t think I have missed out!
We are more than half way through the camper trip and are now looking at what we do with 7 days in Cairo. So hit us up with ideas. It’s 43 degs!!Read more
TravelerWhat amazing places you've stayed in - definitely better than a bus tour!
TravelerYou will be unable to avoid crowds in Cairo that’s for sure! No time for a Nile cruise- a must in Cairo is the museum ( pay for a guide if able ) out to pyramids of course and the step pyramid the oldest one in different direction. Also a visit to the citadel. It will be stinking hot as in March it was very hot so no use doing too much outdoors. Traffic was horrendous all those years ago but being mid summer perhaps the streets may be quieter!! Perhaps you can do a half day Nile cruise to Edfu one of the ancient temples

TravelerThere are cruises that will accommodate our schedule. Paul doing research.
