how cool is that
good morning from our third day on the river Nile cruise we've made it all the
way from Luxor down to Aswan and today we're gonna spend most of it relaxing
so we're just on the boat and the captain came over and said come with me so
let's see what we get
that was like the sweetest thing ever they just kept being like
capitano capitano putting us up on their chair making us touch all the buttons
i loved it that was so happy and his laugh was the best thing
we knew that when we were coming to Egypt we really wanted to do a Nile cruise but when we
looked it up online they all seemed really expensive or not very good when we got into
Luxor the tour manager of the hotel managed to set us up on this cruise which is about $45
per person per night we'll show you what that gets you at the moment we're up on the beautiful sun
deck in the lounges area there's an awesome pool so you can cool off from the Nile heat
and on the other side there's like dining tables and chairs that's where we have our
tea time every day so if we go down one floor that's where our room is
there is a gym on board i put that in quotation marks so i'm pretty sure they've just chucked
two bits of equipment in there so they can say that they have a gym on board so this
is our room it's quite spacious we have like a chase chair a big king bed that's
really comfy both have bedside tables with outlets there's a little tv that has movies
going all day everything you could need through here is the bathroom so there's
a lot of area for storage there's a bath plenty of towels it's a regular looking
toilet probably our favourite thing about this room is that this massive window opens
how cool is that that's all there is for this floor but downstairs there's more
so this is the lounge area it's got a fully stocked bar and windows on both sides
and last but not least this is the restaurant where we come
for an amazing meal for breakfast lunch and dinner
normally it's tea time right now but they're not having it today for some
reason and i wanted my cookies tomorrow is sadly our last full day on board
this beautiful river Nile cruise so we're gonna try and make the most of it and go
and see the unfinished obelisk which is an obelisk that they never finished because
really far into the manufacturing process they found a crack in the granite apparently it was
going to be one of Egypt's like finest monuments but it just never got finished
it's our last morning aboard the ship whoa almost fell off
and we're going to see the unfinished obelisk there is no uber in Aswan and
we're not greeted by the normal crazy mess of people trying to take us somewhere so we've
decided to start walking and hopefully we pick up a ride along the way there
this is so cool we are the only ones here and our guide just took us around
definitely not on the path like we went down into one and we could see the bottom where they just
had to chop it off and it would have been a proper obelisk you can see on the walls all
the marks from where they're chipping away and then you can see where they've been rubbing it
to sharpen their tools as well it's just insane that they had this all figured
our
guide thinks of out dividers more as rough guidelines
so our guide just told us the Nile used to come all the way up to here a little bit
lost in translation whether it actually came here naturally or they dug channels for it to get here
but they would hoist up the finished obelisk put it on a felucca boat and ship it all the way up
to Cairo so some of the obelisks we've already seen in Luxor and Cairo came from here, crazy
and just like that we are done with our activities today so next thing on the schedule is our last
tea time but then apparently we get some Nubian show tonight i don't really know what it is but
we're excited no tea time again i'm so sad it was our favourite part of the first two days
and we were told it would be on again tonight but at least we get the Nubian show tonight that'll
be a nice way to end the cruise yeah we're not sure what that is but yeah it should be cool
five-star luxury food now and that concludes this tour for the concerto that concluded
and that concludes the tour aboard the five-star Nile river clues
and that concludes the tournament the concerto five-star Nile river clues
like that
