Hopefully the video comes out okay this time !
It was very interesting to see these guys selling their wares, and being so accurate with their throwing !

Thanks Nation.

They are very resourceful traders on the Nile. Love the soundtrack.

Just amazing, were those small boats attached to the ship, I saw ropes

Yes Missie ! Within seconds of the ship slowing for the locks, they had attached themselves to the protection tyres .
I have one shot later, as the ship is entering the lock, of one trader trying to row across the bow of a ship. He just made it !! Good fun to barter with them. Just wish I could throw that far above my head !!!
The only unhappy trader , was the one permanently on board.He had loads of clothes for sell for the garabea night on board. But he made his money selling those 18ct gold cartouse.

nation ~ Just amazing and quite dangerous I would think. I would probably buy something out of sheer respect for their efforts, they work very hard.
