We went over to the East Bank of Luxor to run a few errands. It was time for a cash withdrawal from the HSBC ATM. I went in to change larger EP200 notes for some smaller, and I was reminded I was in a Middle Eastern bank despite the name on the door. We also picked up some items at a supermarket, as well as some other shops. We've been eating mostly chicken for meat but we hadn't bought a fully-cooked, rotisserie one until today. It was nice walking around in the sun.
In addition, we stopped at a travel agent near the Winter Palace Hotel. I feel it is time to start checking on a little 'Nile Cruise' break. Although I crossed that entry off my bucket-list in 2014, it turned out to be a really delightful memory. In fact, the reason we ended up here at all this winter is because we woke up, pulled the shades back, and saw the mountains of the Valley of the Kings from our stateroom.
The following box recounts the day prior to that when we came from Aswan down the Nile to Luxor. This year, I think we should take a boat south, up the river, and come back by train.
