Aswan,Egypt - December 20, 2010

We woke up on the train and had a lazy morning watching the country side and the Nile go by.  We were several hours still until we reached Aswan.

Once at Aswan we went to our boat (home for the next three days) to drop off our stuff.  The first picture is of Wayne and the kids in the lobby of the boat.  The next is them boarding the first boat and then we had to pass through two more boats before reaching ours.

After we had settled in and had some lunch we had a free afternoon and decided to relax and explore the boat.  We did take a little walk along the corniche to check things out.  Later this afternoon we decided to go for a camel ride on the other side of the Nile.  Samantha and I shared a camel while the boys rode by themselves.  Our camel ended up being a bit stubborn - he kept wanting to go his own way and the herders had to keep bringing him back.





Below is an old church and some scenery from the boat.

Tonight we set sail for Luxor.
