Cruising the Mediterranean
This third month of the Great African Cruise would begin with more adventures into that Continent with trips to Cairo, Gizeh and, of course, Luxor. The remainder of the month would be cruising around the Mediterranean with visits to several more famous cities.
This would have been an exciting time for the crew too. From most ports there would be trips arranged by the Social Secretary. Probably the most memorable of these would be the one from Alexandria to Cairo (a 4 - 5 hour dusty and bumpy ride through the desert) with lunch by the Nile in Cairo, a visit to the Museum and the Mohammed Ali mosque, and then a camel ride at Gizeh in front of the sphinx and pyramids.
