| As for Mary�s first camel ride, it was an experience. The saddle, although authentic, was not very sturdy, and there were no stirrups. This caused the rider to feel very insecure at times on top of the camel realizing how far away she was from the ground. To get off a camel, the art was to first lean back as the camel started down and then lean forward, definitely a learned skill! |

| Our time onboard the cruise boat had certainly been fun and memorable, in part due to the terrific staff. Our steward, besides taking such pride in his work, was extremely funny. One time we came back to our room after dinner to see a cobra and crocodile sitting on our bed (using towels). One of the main chefs onboard was also a very talented food artist and his creations were magnificent. Monday night, our last evening, we were entertained by Nubian dancers. |
