I have to say I'm slightly suspicious of an Aussie with no time for a beer. Seems exceedingly strange to me! :?

It got deleted???? Really???? Well, nothing to do with what we said - all due to the comments of the original poster.

I have a few minutes internet time. I'm exactly half-way between Luxor and Aswan, somewhere ties up to a river bank with the Nile lapping outside my panoramic windows - it's warm and very cool, simultaneously.

CC, Didn't see you previous billet-doux. the thread was pulled while I was in net-limbo. The moment is gone. Aswan for a night then Istanbul. Important you don't conclude I'm the normal beer-swilling Aussie. You'd be tremendously disappointed in the reality.

The sites are empty. Edfu, all 60 acres of it had about ten tourists, till a couple of groups came in. The motorized river boats still ply the Nile in convoy, but in the tens, not hundreds - and empty, it appears. I confess that looking at them from the deck of my dahabiya makes me feel verrry superior.

click. gone.

back in a day or so from Aswan.

Come to Egypt now. Sail down the Nile on a boat like this - don't fool yourseLf that that expensive motorised river cruise is superiour. It ain't.

Back to the breeze and the silence.

So I take it you got upgraded to the panoramic suite? Enjoy the silence before the Connie engulfs you.

Hi dogster

I am reading and following also !

OK dogster - no beer then. I'll save that for Percy and Crcxx3. Next time perhaps you can take a moment for the beverage of your choice and a chat. Hope so.

<<OK dogster - no beer then. I'll save that for Percy and Crcxx3>>

Percy paying again???? :-D

((B))

Okay Debbie and Grcxx3.. I am buying again ( Groan), but this time let's drink the cheaper stuff . :)

I'm happy with a Stella or a Sakkara. ((B))

Yes, but not by the gallon!!! :)

My "percy's on the tab" radar alert notified me that it had been too long since i'd popped in for a chat. Wow that woke me up! :-)
