Realy did not feel like a walk today. but glad I went,
YESTERDAY I WALKED ALMOST 10 KILOMETERS. AND STARTED TO SUFFER WITH MY BACK AS SOON AS I GOT HOME ,I TOOK A PIRITON AND MY 400ML IBUPROFEN TABLETS. AND SLEPT FROM 21.00 TILL 11.00. AND STILL HAD A BACK PAIN TOOK ANOTHER PILL.
BY THE TIME THE BACK PILLS STARTED TO CUT IN IT WAS ALMOST MIDDAY,
ANY WAY HERE I AM ON THE EDGE OF THE WETLANDS 2" under this land its a water table
of the Nile river in places I have to take my sandals off to walk in what seems to be grass.
today there is no smell of rotting whatever as the Nile has only receded over the past week.
the first 100 yards has already been ploughed and seeded with Maze. in a few weeks it will be cropped and corn planted ready for next year,
the red mark is where my flat is on the East bank of Luxor city Egypt.
today's blog is quite long with photos of what I saw as I walked in this area. first I went to the sand bank near the Nile river.
