Hi folks. I have to be brief today, which means that my pictures and their headings may not line up.Not much to report about yesterday. We met most of our group at the airport and flew to Luxor. A few (including the group leader) got stuck in New York due to weather. They will join us tomorrow, but have missed some wonders.
Today we got up at 5am visited some of Egypt’s most amazing sites:
The Valley of the kings what many Pharaohs were buried in elaborate tombs cut deep into the rock.
There are no pictures allowed in the tombs, so you can assume that the slightly blurry pictures that appear from tombs here must have been camera malfunctions.
The temple of queen Hatshepsut.
Temple of Ramses the third.
The amazing Karnack Temple.
Finally, a typical stop and shop opportunity that gives the guide a small kickback from what we buy. Here it is alabaster. You can see Karen Jenison talking with a salesman. What you can’t hear is a sucking sound: That’s the sound of Lynn’s money being sucked into the Egyptian economy.
Tomorrow we rise at 4am to catch a very early plane back to Cairo.
