Day 10 January 21 Regular rest areas for travelers on the road to Aswan

By Tim

Regular traveler rests are available along our Nile trail.  Not sure if they are set up by the government or are local hospitality.  This one has outlets to charge a phone sported by many of our donkey riding fellow traveler.  Drinking water is in the urns which have a porous exterior for evaporative cooling.  Someone keeps them full from the handwash taps and a cup is provided.  The toilets are Asian style and are quite clean with a hose for wash down and personal hygiene.  We had a shower head above the Asian toilet in our last primitive camp and, after I hosed it down and got over standing in the toilet to shower, it worked quite well.  We have not braved the drinking water.
