Day 78 & 79: Nile Ride....

Day 78 and 79: Nile River cruise....Well today we took a cruise on the Nile with the group, which consisted of my tour guide Huda and the American couple Colin and Elizabeth. Colin and Elizabeth were a young couple of 22. They had both graduated and were planning on getting married in the next couple of years. I was glad to have Huda with me as Elizabeth was quite the pill to deal with, very moody and a she really enjoyed talking about herself alot and how pretty her and her boyfriend were and was very negative about everything. I had to keep reminding myself how young she was. Colin on the other hand was the complete opposite was a positive polite guy was a very nice guy, a real gentlemen and truly genuine humble guy. Can't understand why some of these nice guys put up with these woman. We gave him alot of credit putting up with his girlfriend. We managed to survive the first day and saw some kids on the side of the Nile River. The Nile River is the longest river in the world and flows from south to north. On one side there were palm trees and the other side was the dessert. We had a couple of Nubian meals on the boat and hear Nubian music on the Felucca. We even saw alot of donkeys as we sailed down the Nile. Donkeys are quite commonly used here. I had not seen any used in southeast asia, india, and nepal. The next day we took a trip to the 'crocile temple'.
