Lazy Day on The Nile

Bliss, absolute bliss. We drew our curtains back this morning on a sunrise over the still waters of the Nile. Alongside us we could finally see the herd of water buffalo tethered on the bank alongside us, whom we have heard bellowing during the night. Also the donkey, who most definitely pelts out a mighty loud braaaay! After breakfast in the sun, we had a walk along this narrow island which sits right in the middle of the Nile. The crop framing here is abundant & mango & banana thrive. Back onboard we just cruised............sigh. I finished Death on the Nile, which i have thoroughly enjoyed, and a little while later, we stopped in safe swimming water. There was a cool breeze so I declined the offer to swim, but oh-significant-one jumped right on in! It was a cool baptism by Nile, but he thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Lunch & a totally lazy afternoon, waving to fishermen in little dinghies, catching glimpses of birdlife & drinking tea! This is very relaxing & I thoroughly recommend it to everyone!!!!
