Night Location: Edfu, Egypt (on board Nile Cruiser) Mummysode of the Day: Mum was highly offended at a pointed comment about her large feet. While walking through a local market, some men declared: "45? 46? Long feet, long life!" Mum maintains that this comment was perhaps more pointed at her mighty Merrells than her actual feet.

Amber offered to carry them across the pool, Mum said "I'll just go in like this," and then proceeded to face-plant into the water. Turns out her natural instinct that her glasses were not safe was spot on. Following an epic 10 plus hour sleep we experienced a truly exotic buffet breakfast. On offe...
