Royal House Hotel Luxor

We've had to check out at 12pm today, but we have nothing to do until 10.30pm when we have a flight to Sharm El-Shek. We managed to get one room, but they won't let us store our main bags in there which is annoying.

Last night we had a good dinner with great service for Rhedyn's birthday, which you certainly don't expect when you are in E...

So we got off our Felucca which was "docked" if you can call it that on the side of the Nile, we all jumped off and headed up through a fame to the side of the road. We commented on how night fruit looked but quickly got shot down by Ghandi tell us that if we nicked some fruit off the farmers trees they could kill us as we have "stolen" from the...

Salaam Aleikam from Luxor, located in the heart of Egypt. Now this is interesting---although located far south from Cairo in Northern Egypt, Luxor is in an area called Upper Egypt.

< br>The first line in my journal for today reads thus: “Today Troy got a crook gut and sprayed the bowl brown.” Thanks for that, Hoges. Though you weren’t in any better shape yourself. Things had a taken a turn for the worse during the night for both of us, and let...
