Luxor Rest Day

Today is our first "rest day" in Luxor.

There is of course plenty of work to be done. Not much for us medics but the others all have plenty so I help out with the logistics of passport gathering, and figuring out the paperwork we need to do before we go to Sudan. It's a time consuming process.

At lunch we go and eat one of the two favourite egyptian dishes. It's like pasta and rice mixed together, tomato sauce, lentils and fried onion. Tastes good. The other options throughout most of Egypt is felafel and fool (bean thing). We've been eating plenty of both.

Adele and I take a wander through the local markets and we both buy a scarf and have fun haggling with the man that sells scarves to get a good price (even though he thinks his starting price is a good price!) The scarf will be good to keep warm in the dessert, and to double as a sarong later when it get's warmer.

Then I'm back to work running the afternoon clinic for riders. It's all just more of the same - ankles, knees, saddle sores. I've been seeing plenty of bums lately.
