Siyd met us at the hotel at 1700 to walk us over to where the Felluca's are docked on the east bank of the Nile. We climbed aboard and met Capt. Adam, I guess that was his English name. The sail across the Nile was very peaceful and relaxing. About half way across we lost our wind and had to paddle a bit. There was a shallow spot so we stopped to jump in, the water felt great! We eventually made it across, due to the hard work of Adam and Siyd, who didn't want us to help in any way.
Once docked at Banana island, we walked up the west bank to the plantation. Here you can pay $.80 each and eat all the Banana's you can handle. We walked around the plantation a while, then went back to fill our bellies on Banana, at least I did anyway. Heidi wasn't too hungry.

Don't think I was ready for this pic...
Donkey powered water pump, which channeled water throughout the plantation, genius!
Isn't nature amazing...no Frankenstein monsanto stuff here
Full of Banana, back to the boat.
Once back to the boat we sailed to the west bank. This trip also took a long time, no wind to help us so Siyd and Adam were back to paddling. About half way we caught a breeze luckily, so the guys got to rest till we reached the bank. It was an amazing evening.
Then to the hotel for bedtime.
