Luxor - donkey ride to the Valley of the Kings

"The donkeys were so fun - and they were really cute
Marc had advised the boys that "their bits to be tucked up nice and tight"
and the girls "bits to be firmly supported" as well
because the ride would be a very bouncy one - he wasn’t wrong!!
There are no stirrups on a donkey and you just hang on to the rope and go
When they see a gap they just go for it even if there isn’t much room
so we were jostling with each other for space.
We mostly just laughed the whole way through
One girl fell off but wasn’t injured
All the tourist coaches went past us and people were taking photos
and all the locals on the road working laughed at us - we really must have looked a sight!"
