Tombs, Tombs and More Tombs
... the top craftsmen of their time. Again, no photos.
Our last temple stop was at the Temple of Habu. I had not been there before. It was lovely, my favourite site of the day. Photos are posted.
The last stop (it was a busy day) was at the Colossi of Memnon. It was the onslaught of touts that was the most interesting thing to see there, and what I mostly took photos of. Not a single, solitary one bothered me. Maybe it was the vibes I was giving off. ;) ...
Up, Up and Away And Down With An Insurance Scam

Arbejdet med at tømme ...
Floating over the west Bank
... me but soon lifted up again. We landed smoothly in a paddock next to a few fields of corn. Felt sorry for the farmer whose fields we almost trampled. All of us clambered out and the guys pulled the balloon down and packed it away. They pulled out musical instruments and played and sang for us. I danced with a young boy but none of our group wanted to join in. put money in their collection box and the bus took us back to catch a motor boat back. We got in a bus ...
