NILE RIVER (river environment)

hey,
When i arrived, i had no idea what to do. The length of the river was unbelievable, i would look one end and the river just kept going and going, same happened when i looked the other way, it was never ending. The first thing i did was get my swimmers on and went straight for a swim, the water was prettttty cold but it was nothing i couldn't handle =P. I just layed around the place i was staying and went for some little adventurous walks but the one thing that wasnt so great was the fact there was no tour up apart of the river or around the river and there was no information centre but as i have with the other blogs ive posted, i will give you some information about the nile river, except this information is coming from what i already knew :)

- The Nile River is about 6,670 km in length and is the longest river in Africa and in the world.
- The Nile River runs through Egypt, creating a fertile green valley across the dessert.
- The ancient Egyptians lived and farmed along the Nile, using the soil to produce food for themselves and their animals
- The River Nile is formed from the White Nile, which originates at Lake Victoria and the Blue Nile, which originates at Lake Tana in Ethiopia

I know many other things about the Nile River but as i'm at the airport in a hurry to get on my plane for my flight home. I'm soooo excited to get home :) i can't wait.

i'll send out another post when i get home :) speak soon x
