foreign
walking to our hotel
it is already so much more calm here than it was in luxor so we are going to relax for a little
we got checked in and now we're down by the nile
we don't really have plans today or anything it's hot in aswan and we got beer by the river
we've been chatting with this feluca captain and he's actually really really nice is what 150
i'd rather fix it for one hour
we didn't do a faluca tour in luxor just because everyone there was like
so pushy but yeah here this guy was really nice and he was just chilling there and it's super fun
the first time i was so scared that we were going to hit those boys
but apparently this is just what they do and they grab onto all the boats and then sing four tips
about stopped at some nubian village we're going to check out and there's cats greeting us
this man was just waiting at the entrance to the nubian village and he is showing us around
he wanted us to take pictures with this baby crocodile
but there were also lots of like crocodile decorations everywhere
there are also quite a few airbnbs available right here in the nubian village too
so 5 000 people living here
we bought a couple little souvenirs and he gave us this necklace for free so now back for sunset
we started today with a really long tour down to abusembo that we booked at our hotel last night
it was almost four hours each way but it was probably one of the coolest temples we've seen
ever we are back in aswan and we're just gonna walk around and see what we find
we did not take a video before we ate but chicken and soup and some sauce
and veggies and bread and salad and rice and two sodas and a water four two euros each
we're going to check out some park that apparently used to be a private part of the
king of egypt um but then they made it public
is
i said that was crazy they came running over and asked to take pictures with us
and then they were showing us pictures of some other foreigner they met here in the park
who they said he's from pennsylvania which is crazy because i'm from pennsylvania
there's a donkey in the middle of the road and everyone's just beeping
all right left leg
we don't know what we're doing
we're walking around the same nubian village that we were in the other day
but if you take the ferry across it's like the normal entrance you can just
walk around the village unlike with the faluca it took us to where they had people
like kind of waiting for the tourists we're gonna walk through the village here to the azwon museum
we're at the osmo museum now which is actually
full of a bunch of artifacts that they found when they were making the as1 damn
so back at the same restaurant again for three days we've been here and we've been here all
three days since we found it and it's still really good so if you come to aslan eat here
i guess if you've like looked into traveling egypt at all
you've seen the sleeper train from cairo down to luxer aswan and like reverse as one up to cairo
which the sleeper train like the one with a bed is 80 euros per night for the night per person
so if we're both getting the sleeper train that's 160 euros just to get from aswan to cairo which is
crazy like this hotel room um and most of the airbnbs we've stayed in have been maybe like 20
euros a night max so we did not really want to spend 160 euros a night for this sleeper train
but there is another option that you can get the regular train and just like sleep in one
of the seats so we took the train from luxor down here to aswan which was like three hours
and the seats were actually pretty big and there were some people sleeping on the train from cairo
like when we had got on so we are gonna do that so we're gonna go to the train station and get
tickets for that one and then we're only going to spend what 15 to 30 euros total and it's a seat
instead of a bed but way better than 160 euros we just bought train tickets in the train station
so we're taking the overnight train to cairo at 6 10 p.m get there at like 7 00 am
so like almost 13 12 13 hours but it was 590. the train station with
a bunch of snacks and a pizza checked our tickets and said this is our train
so yeah there's so many snacks right next to the train which is good to know
