Day 114...The long blue Nile - 18th October

haha Nathan's got the shits! We were supposed to go for a camel ride this morning but he's got 'mummy tummy'. We can't figure out what its from, as I had exactly the same thing he did, shared plates and everything and I'm fine. It ended up not being anything in particular, as it passed after 2 hours and he was fine. It must just be the change in diet.

So we rested today, watching movies in bed (man I've missed movies) and at lunchtime we boarded our cruise ship. Because its just the two of us, Mohamed pulled some strings and got us on a nicer boat, and in a nicer room. Nice one! He's worth his weight in gold this guy. I mean, he didn't have to do it but he's gone the extra yard. Our cruise ship is 5 star (but not luxury 5 star - theres a difference). Our room is huge, with our own couch and coffee table. Great to hide from the Egyptian sun. We had lunch on board, which will be buffet for the next few days. After that we hid from the sun in our room. Our cruise ship won't 'set sail' till tomorrow lunchtime.

We'd ended up doing nothing all day, so we joined Mohammed back in the Aswan bazaar during the evening while he bought some spices off the Nubians. Had dinner on the boat, and enjoyed a Nubian show after. We had a cocktail and chatted with Mohamed. I got pulled up to dance = why does this always happen to me?
