Egypt so far

Loving Egypt except for our night train.  As it was towards the end of Ramadan the trains were packed with city  workers leaving Cairo to head home to their families to begin Ede celebrations.
I am borrowing my tour leaders laptop while Nath kicks his butt at cards.  Taking a break from the sun bathing.  We are currently on a cruise from Aswan to Luxor.  Each day the boat has docked so we can see some temples so its neat to get out and about.  Another kiwi couple on the cruise we have met and become friends with - they even gave us two jars of marmite!
Here are just a few samples of the many photos we have taken.  Loving the hot weather, it is almost too hot in the afternoon to be in the sun, even the shade is not overly refreshing! But I am remembering that when I return to London it will be cold and grey so Im making the most of the sun.




Up early tomorrow for a hot air balloon ride over The Valley of the Kings.  We have one last overnight train to endure but this trip is only 10hrs so it should be a breeze.  Lets hope the air con doesn't conk out.
