We go to the Anglican cathederal All Souls in the morning - our group probably doubles their congregation... Lots more folk for the Sudanese service that follows though! All very friendly - apparently the english service varies greatly in numbers depending on who's around - lots of people are there for short periods only.
More present buying in the Refugee Egypt craft shop - we're going to visit the project itself tuesday. Lunch at the Mariott hotel just down the road - very classy. You could well believe you weren't in Egypt....
In the evening, we have a Nile cruise with entertainment. All this is organised by the wife of the Habitat architect - impressive! The boat is a floating buffet - we churn up the river for about an hour and then back down. The entertainment is belly dancing (luckily we got a table right on the edge of the dance floor eh?) and a guy
who's speciality is "whirling round and round with a round cloak thing". Actually very impressive, as he does it for about 30 minutes!!!
Something takes its revenge in the night though....
