June 7 in Aswan.
This evening we took ourselves out on a boat for booze cruise. The day had been oppressively hot and by 7 it had cooled enough to get out. We spent a really relaxed time on a small boat cruising around the botanic gardens and then drifting down the river drinking beer with the operator and a local camel driver, Sadat. They both spoke good English and were good company. I’m not sure that we didn’t exchange our wives for his camel! Things got a bit hazy on account of the Hashish he was smoking. It could have been an old camel for a young wife or visa versa.
We haven't had any time to view the sights so decided that an earlt night was requird so we could get out early.
