…Egypt (9)
Monday, may 10th 2010
Today we have an amazing day of relaxing.
So we walk around the souk a little and the grlz want to send some oldskool emails (postcards) so we sit down at a teahoust again, where we have water and minttea. This place is cool. The owner sits down with us and we get some hybiscusdrinks on the house and have to pay next to nothing! A good experience once again…
Then, we buy some gifts and walk around the souk once more. The pool lures us and we humbily follow…
The only plan we have is a donkeyride at the westbank, whereafter we will meet the rest of the group to have dinner. So we go by ferry and in front of the restaurant where we had dinner yesterday, we are awaited by our host from yesterday, who arranged the donkeys and is apparently riding with us.
No saddles just a cloth, but Kyrah cannot wait to gallup with the thing 
. The beauty is, we ride through authentic nubian villages, where life just seems to have stood still… Children playing in the… uhn… sand (I was gonna say streets, but that seems like a gross overqualification), a furniturebuilder transporting a bench on his back, it’s like being in a timemachine…
We ride for over an hour and back at the restaurant we meet the rest of the group and have dinner almost next to the restaurant of yesterday. And once again it is amazing…
Looking at the eastbank, the lights at luxor temple are particularly enchanting…
