The view from my "office"

Staying overnight on the boat at Luxor dock before the next two nights in a hotel at Luxor. Decided a stroll to the Winter Palace Hotel (an old King Farouk hangout) was in order on a mild evening after dinner aboard. Can't go into the hotel because I have shorts on (will probably return tomorrow for sunset appropriately dressed). Margarita providing company...

Not sure if you are walkers-we walked to Provesende from Pinhao-bit of a long hike but great scenery. Other day we did the Royal tour-some great views

Many thanks. My wife is trying to talk me into this one at the moment so I'll send her the link. Any more pics will be appreciated (trip report, even more so). Early next year she's off to Italy for a walking tour (I'm not invited as it's a "ladies" group ... how sexist and antiquated is that) and she also wants to walk the Great Ocean Road. That last one I really can't understand. Why walk when you can drive ... the Italian one I can almost understand, just in case too many vineyards are passed en-route! :)

Room view Pinhão, Douro river, Portugal, Europe at 10:45 am today. 303 forest fires (wildfires) in Spain and Portugal plus onshore wind mean Douro valley is choked with smoke.

Yes a day for letter writing and internet and reading Decanter mags in the bar. No point in touring since can't see down the valleys. Winery tour at Vallado this arvo, quiet resting till then I feel.

Tell me about it - been away nearly 5 months and 4 weeks to go and I’ve had a fantastic time but won’t miss packing the bags

We're just over the six month mark and just short of half way. We get back to Australia on May 1st. I think I will throw my luggage away I will be so sick of seeing it!
 
Keep tabs on how many guiding offers you get; I'll start the bidding at 20 :).

The response is (anglicised) La, shu'krun ! Then La, LA shu'krun! ... and so on.
