Took a felucca ride around Elephantine Island. Then afternoon tea at the Palace (I forget the name) but gorgeous. Tea nothing like ours though. View was spectacular.
PengembaraFYI the guy in the suit is our security guard. We have one at every place we go plus a police escort.
Nancy is right. Everything looks exotic, even the sailboats. The tea, however, can't hold a candle to ours. For one thing, no costumes. [Andi]
More pictures felucca ride then tea
