The Solaris I ducks... ...since there it becomes narrow upwards.

After lunch, a little more than three hours before we reach the sluice of Esna, we almost hit our head at the next surprise. The fact that the front mast is put down now and then, we are already used. In addition, however, all pillars are put down, so that the awning rests now on the chairs and sun beds.
A few to the top tells us the reason: we are passing a bridge, that is such low, that we can touch the steel-concrete. Indeed, we would not have struck the head to us. Involuntarily we still, however, draw him when we pass the bridge.

Head draw!!! Heave-ho!

A few minutes down the Nile it is over again. By doing their utmost the crew straighten up the sun blind, the pillars are bound together and the front mast gets installed.
When finally the most guests are on deck again it just looks like before – there are only some people who are amazed about the new position of some chairs and couches.
