On the Nile

Hi, I am back from Egypt. I really enjoyed myself, especially the Nile cruise. It was quite a new experience for me, as the longest time I'd spent on board of a ship before, was about 3 hours on the ferry from Holyhead to Dublin. Here's the first bunch of photos I took, most of them were taken straight from my cabin's window ;)

Tak som späť z Egypta. naozaj som si dovču užila, najmä plavbu po Níle, keďže na lodi som predtým strávila najdlhšie 3 hodiny na trajekte medzi Holyheadom (GB) a Dublinom. Tu je prvá várka fotočiek, väčšinu som odfotila priamo z kabíny cez okno. Taký výhľad by som hneď brala aj doma ;)

Local merchants arrive to the holiday ships in small boats and throw their goods on board. Trying to throw the towels and dress back is a lot of fun ;)

Aswan
The town is famous for its huge dam and felukas (sailing boats).

Sail Away ;)
We boarded one of the felukas but as the weather wasn't windy enough, we got stuck in the middle of the river :D
