Ranting Canuck

In the last week of October and first week of November last year Heather and I went to Egypt for our first trip together, as Heather mentioned in this previous post. Heather had written a very nice write up of the trip but somehow it got lost when we moved computers.

Anyway it was two trips and it was booked and organized by Gap Adventures, unfortunately it does not appear that this trip is offered anymore or I would post the itinerary. I believe the trip was called Egypt by Felucca and when we were on it our guide had told us this was the first time they had run this tour and probably the last. The problem with the tour was that you spent 4 nights on a Felucca, which is a traditional Egyptian sailing ship that has no washrooms on them. You do have a support boat that has washrooms and showers but GAP had issues getting enough people to take the trip.

All in all it was a good trip and both Heather and I were happy to have gone on the trip. Although I did find the time on the Felucca’s to be a little boring at times. While on this trip we say most of the major sites in Egypt from Cairo down to Aswan / Abu Sibmbel. The one this I do regret is that we did not get up to Alexandria, I would have liked to have seen the remains of the light house.
Anyway here is a link to the picture we took while there, there a lot of them. <Coming Soon>
