Museums & Dinner on the Nile

A dozen of us left the hotel at 1030 (an hour late) to visit the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization and the brand new Grand Egyptian Museum. Between the two we had a very rushed but delicious buffet lunch. We were so far behind schedule that we practically ran through the GEM, which I truly could've spent all day in 😥. Both museums were excellent.

At 1615 we were on our way back to the hotel; we were over an hour away and supposed to be there at 1630 🤦. Because we were late, the 40 of us were late leaving the hotel to make it to our dinner cruise another hour away, but luckily they held the boat for us. Another buffet and a terrific show, in which John got to play a little part. What a good sport!

Then we were back to the hotel for drinks and fellowship. The last group member finally arrived around midnight!! The trip officially begins tomorrow!!!En savoir plus
