We had a lovely afternoon at Kitchener's Island. We shared a felucca (felucca's are sail boats that have been used on the Nile for centuries) with an English couple we met on the cruise.. Kitchener's Island was very pleasant and cool and a special treat for the locals. There were school children there and families enjoying the gardens. I had a brilliant idea that the Botanical Gardens in Sydney could link with these gardens, given that Australia and Egypt were both British colonies. The gardens looked a little worn out and could have done with some reviving.
The big highlight of the day was when Alan got to sail the felucca back to the boat. He was truely in his element. He was having such fun; so full of light and life; he was lovin' it.
