This morning I woke up to a sort of clear sky, with a hint of the sun glistening off the Nile. I had coffee delivered to the room and I can't even describe how wonderful it is to wake up and have coffee on a balcony, overlooking the river and downtown Cairo. It's 7:30 am and I'm about to have a 12 hour work day. Maybe that's why I treasure the cup of coffee so much because in a matter of minutes I'll be in work mode and at that point, I could be anywhere in the world. All things being equal, my secondary focus as usual is to watch what I eat and drink because this being Cairo, food can have unpleasant results. When in doubt, diet.
Cruising the Danube
Life on the river often means spots where I can't get a good wifi connection so I'm a bit behind on blogging. I'm going to do this one fast and then get more detailed on the last two stops. I'm sailing with AMA Waterways and the ship is the AmaVerde as seen from the dock in Vidin. Usually I share a bigger cabin with a friend but for this trip we decided to splurge and get our own cabin. Here's my little home for the week. Most of Thursday was on the ship as we sailed from Bulgaria to Serbia. This lock is the second gate of the Iron Gates. Looking over at the dam on the river. View from my cabin. The water is just below the window. There are only three decks on this ship and I'm on Level 3.
What you need on your blog is a photo of you "walking like an Egyptian". I'll buy you a beer if you do it.
