Granted, our Viking Aton is a really relaxing cruise ship as it powers its way up the Nile. It’s really quiet and sometimes surprises us that it’s moving due to the low amount of engine noise. Even so, one might look back wistfully on days gone by when ships sailed on wind power alone.
Here’s a look back at those days…
As we had passed this felucca, I decided to take a quick photo of it in its serene setting. It is interesting to see a number of these rather ancient sails on this river. It gives a bit of a sense of the way things were long, long ago.
Enjoy the serenity of your day, as we’re visiting Abu Simble today!
