Yes, Wednesday began early - we were picked up at 4:30AM for a 6:15 flight to Luxor. We were on our Nile ship, the Oberoi Philae, by 8:00AM. We met our guide for the cruise, Mohamed, and he soon found out that he didn't want to deal with us until we got some rest. This gave us time to unpack and sleep before we sailed at 2:00, heading north to Kena.
