River Tour

We have some friends with a boat and today we spent the afternoon out on the Nile. I'm not gonna lie, my city is really not all that beautiful but the Nile is great and it was so peaceful out on the water.

These are the ferry boats that take you from the bank to the island that I visited last week. That dirt ramp up the side is the 'dock'. It's difficult to climb in a skirt but the boat ride costs 25 cents and is well worth it.


This is the boat like the one that we were searching for the owner of...not quite sure I have faith in its ability to make it across the river.


Here's the sailing club. It's a highlight on most tours of my city. They dock the boats in an interesting way...there are no docks. You just park it out in the river, throw down the anchor and then wait for the little guy to come and get you in the rowboat and take you to shore.

Very cool! I wish I knew where you are exactly. I have some friends here who are going to your area of the world. I like reading your experiences. Maybe they will help me.
