Day 3: Sailing over the Tropic of Cancer

The first leg of our cruise

This was a relaxing day as we sailed for 10 hours, with no excursions. We had to enjoy ourselves on the upper deck around the pool with a good book. At 12.30 the ship horn announced that we crossed the Tropic of Cancer, which was celebrated with a cocktail at the bar. On our way we noticed that very nice red dragonflies surrounded the ship, which were not shy to be photographed.

The Kasr Ibrim docked at an Island at sunset. From that position we could see the temple of Wadi el Seboua (valley of the lions in Arabic), which was planned to be visited tomorrow morning followed by the temples of Dakka and Meharakka.
