My cousins have set EGYPT on FIRE!!!
I received this email yesterday and am very proud of my cousins!!!!
"Just a quick note to let you guys know we are absolutely fine in Egypt :)
Not too sure if it's made headlines over in oz and other parts of the world- but four cruise liners caught on fire today along the nile- thankfully nobody was hurt- and our cruise ship was NOT involved :)
We were having a lovely relaxing morning cruising down the nile and just finished our lunch- when we noticed a great cloud of thick black smoke further along- as we made our way onto the top deck it became clear that several ships had caught on fire and were continuing to burn. It was a very anxious half an hour as we waited to hear what had happened and if any body had been hurt- we wont even begin to go into the fears running through our heads- the foremost being- GOD I HOPE NOBODY BACK HOME HEARS ABOUT THIS BEFORE WE GET WORD TO THEM ! the cruise ships were a sorry sight-
It turns out that four liners were docked togther on the shore. three were awaiting repairs and the last was a full cruise ship which had just docked. The one closest to shore was being maintained and a spark flew on the engine and ignited the fuel tank- we are talkking tonnes of deisel- so this caused an explosion- hitting all four liners. thankfully the last cruiser seperated and offloaded all its passengers safely.
Basically we are all OK!! it was a dampener on our afternoon- but other than this one incident the trip has been FANTASTIC!!!
Will go into detail at another stage- its late and i just wanted to fill you all in
keep safe
muwah muchly :)
