Phew...it is SO HOT here! I'm basically sitting in a dry heat sweating while writing this entry. Such sacrifices I'm making! ;-) Today it is 95 F and yesterday was a few degrees warmer here in Luxor, Egypt. No humidity like back at home, but it still feels like a heavy heat in a way. The past several days seem almost like they didn't happen now that I am thinking back to everything! Let's see...today is Monday so I have to back up to Thursday, the day we departed Aswan on the feluccas! ...

Salam all,
Well i will start with today seeing as i could never catch up with what's been going on if i tried to tell you it all i would end up writing months after i arrived!
So today was an early start. We got up at 6am to head off to the Valley of the Kings. We left this early to avoid the incredible heat. It was disgustingly hot nonetheless. We rode donkeys for 45 minutes to the roads which lead to the valley of the kings on the West bank of Luxor. The shepherdy donkey guy ...
So Luxor again is totally different. It is a mix of Aswan and Cairo, but still very different. When we arrived here it was so unbearably hot that we didnt do anything for the afternoon. In the evening we went and visited Luxor Temple, which was amaznig as it was all lit up and had dinner at a really nice restaurant. I am getting very experimental with my food and loving all the different tastes of this country. Today I got up early to go hot airballooning over the city and the valley of the k...

After brekky on the Felucca we sailed to the other bank and met a minibus for the transfer to Luxor. Stopped on the way at Edfu Temple which was buried until about 100 years ago so is one of the best preserved temples in Egypt, it is pretty much intact and still has a lot of paint visible.
Another 2 hours to Luxor where we had a quick lunch and off to Karnak Temple. This is the big one - the site covers more than 60 acres and over hundreds of years, successive Pharohs added to it on gr...
Stopped off briefly at Edfu on the way to Luxor (temple dedicated to Horus and one of the best preserved in Egypt), before visitng the major attractions of Luxor.
Whilst not as relaxed as Aswan and not as manic as Cairo, Luxor is still an interesting city. Karnak temple complex is vast and contains so much stuff that it is difficult to appreciate it in just one afternoon. However the heat at this time of the year makes fleeting visits the best option!!!

... people... Still, a visit to the Cairo museam without a visit to the mummy room is like...well...I don't know what it's like, peanut butter without jelly? It should be included in any tour...but oh well, costs are cut everywhere.<br><br>Of course costs weren't cut on the choice of our lunch restaurant. We left the overwhelming museam around lunch time and Khalid gave us the option of going straight to the Pyramids or having lunch first. We decided lunch. Only ...

... they have it in the States because I'm just not sure I can go on without it). We packed up all our stuff, not that we spread out very far, then we watched out the window a while until we reached Luxor station. The rural areas of Egypt reminded me a lot of Bolivia. There is lots of farming, and the building style is much the same. We were met at the train station by a few people and then transported to our river cruise ship to drop off our bags. After that we ...

... statue of Ramses II. The museum was a neat introduction to many of the sculptures and artwork that we would encounter on the rest of the trip throughout Egypt. After the trip to the museum, we stopped at a perfume shop where we were embarked on probably one of the most touristy things to be done in Egypt. We were taken inside the perfumery and offered tea and hibiscus juice before we were led into an hour-long sales pitch for their perfume products. Because Egypt ...

... that were entombed as most were stolen long ago by tomb robbers. Only those tombs that were well hidden kept their treasures. Another phenomenon suggesting large egos trying to ensure their immortality is the large number of statues, often massive, that each king has sculptured of himself. The prime example is the great warrior king Ramses II, whose huge statues abound, the most impressive being those at Abu Simbell. But he was Pharaoh for 66 years and saw off the ...

... vessel. It was beautifully furnished with wonderful cabins and a swimming pool and sundeck. The only downside was that we only on it for 4 nights instead of 7. <br><br>I was still suffering with the dodgy tummy so skipped lunch and went to bed for a couple of hours. Emerged later to relax on the sun deck but lasted about 30 minutes – it was over 40 degrees and unbearable to sit in. It was beautiful though when the sun went down and we sat drinking on deck in the moonlight.
