We began our day with an amazing (and free!) breakfast at our hotel before visiting the Nubian villages on Elephantine Island, just across from the city. While these were great, the highlight of our day was our felucca ride down the Nile.
Highlights of the felucca ride:
- Meeting our Columbian, Italian, Japanese, and Egyptian boat mates
- Swimming in the Nile
- Singalongs hosted by our guide, Nasser, which included the soprano version of The Lion Sleeps Tonight
- Learning dirty words in Spanish
- Learning how to write my name in Japanese
- Learning a card tricks from our guide
- Playing poker by candlelight
- Running into a donkey on my way to the bathroom during the middle of the night
- Sleeping on the boat and under the stars on a nearly perfect night
