Did we catch the boat? The train journey was long and these two chinese women where jabbering on getting louder and louder. It got to 2 am and they shut up, by that time we thought we were arriving in luxor for 5 so there was no point in getting any sleep. Everytime the train stopped copey jumped up thinking it was our stop. You couldnt see out of the window as both the inside and out haddent been cleaned for ages. A guy wandered down the train at 6:30 saying l...

After a while and some confusing reception made a phone call and said no ferries w...

Entertainment italian style and why you cant trust a russian! We had a pretty relaxing day, sat by the pool and chillaxing. Needless to say i thought my blog was going to be crap so was going to skip the day out, but then after tea we had some bizzare entertainment. It was an italian variety show put on by the entertainment team. It was very strange and im guessing a lot of humour was lost in translation, ive got a short video of one of the skits they did.
