Not too much to blog about for these two days...
FRIDAY
The Captain gave an interview and disclosed that if he wasn't running ships he would likely be a military man...no surprises there. He lives in England with his wife and two daughters and only takes charge to 'drive' the ship "when it becomes exciting or expensive". I liked that response. He is also the only officer who drives standing up, the way he learned...the other officers sit.
See, I said it wasn't very exciting. We won at trivia, tying with another team, but deferred our gifts to them or prosperity. To be out on deck today is to suffer as the very high temperatures along with the high humidity makes it miserable.
SATURDAY
Another very hot and humid day...I think it was still ninety plus last night around midnight. Almost no one is out. We did learn that there is a group of women who have coffee together during the days and "rate" the bodies of other women who are swimming in the pool! I was horrified at that and disappointed, too. The only good thing? I don't swim in the pools!
There's a very good entertainer onboard and his third show was tonight. His name is Paul Baker and he's a UK chap who has a very powerful tenor voice. He has sung in many West End productions and gave an outstanding show for the passengers...the entertainer from Ohio gave his last show last night but it was unremarkable. We've shared meals with both of these men and have enjoyed their company and stories.
We tried to get to bed early because we have a long day of touring in Safaga and Luxor tomorrow with Valley of the Kings topping our list and the Temple at Luxor next.
