Nubia is a land of gold, palaces and beautiful maidens .We bought some gold, saw a few beautiful maidens and are traveling on a floating palace. Nubia stretches from the first cataract of the Nile , Aswan, to roughly the second cataract of the Nile at the Sudan boarder. Lake Nasser covers most of the original Nubian villages. We have boarded a ship to cruise lake Nasser. It is luxurious, we are pampered, and we liked it. Only five ships are allowed to cruise on Lake Nasser and each of them only has fifty cabins. We pull ashore at the monuments and the only people there are from our ship and the monument guards are present. Our first stop at Abu Simbel is less than twenty miles from Sudan. The ship has two sun decks, a main lounge and staff to bring wine. The temperature is in the mid seventies and the sun keeps saying “take a nap.” When we return to our state room, the cabin attendant has arranged our bed linen into swans, hearts or crocodiles.
The pictures are wonderful. Molly you look like you were born in the saddle. And the cruise boats! You guys know how to live. And the folded towels were a scream!!!
