Egypt and a slalom run

So we were now heading to Priory Marina

a pretty trip up in lovely, but chilly sunshine

passing the sort of places that - if you had to - would be quite nice to stay in

Passed through some pretty ferocious locks en route with the skipper of a cruiser determined to destroy us by wacking up the front paddles in a deep lock before we could shout stop

and then, seeing the big boat happily moored, I set off for a paddle on the little boat (I know it's so cool and I've become such a poser)

out of the Marina and down the Nile to the pyramids

then onto my competition slalom entry where, I am pleased to say I did the fastest time

round the course - I do, however, have to admit that I was the only entrant

Nonetheless I could hear the roar of the Olympic audience in my ear as I crossed the finish line

we all have our dreams and fantasies but it's sometimes best to eschew the fantasies and stick with the dreams!! 

very pretty spot
