We caught a flight up to Luxor. So far the area is all lush greenery, blue water, and gorgeous weather.
We’re now on the portion of the vacation I planned through Shepard Travel. We’re staying in a fancy hotel with a lovely view. Even without the view, you can tell it’s fancy because they charge for in room coffee and tea.
We’ve decided after two long days of tours that we are taking today off and wiling our afternoon away on the deck, watching boats on the Nile and having dinner at the hotel. We stepped outside for a few minutes to find the streets lined with junk shops and offers of carriage rides and taxis courting our dollars and then went right back inside. This is not a bad plan since we pretty much have the entire place to ourselves. I would be surprised if even 20 of the 300 rooms are occupied right now. The guests are outnumbered by the staff so it is quite and relaxing.
I somehow managed to get Bill to agree to be ready to start tours at 5AM so I expect this to be an early night.
