Temples and more temples

Geo: 24.1872, 32.4397

Another early start with no chance of a sleep in, especially after a wake up call, banging on the door and my alarm. At 6.15am we got of the boat at Kom Ombo to see a temple of Sobek- a Greco-Roman temple of a local crocodile god. Got back on board for a sun deck breakfast as we cruised up the Nile. Had a nap and two hours later we were at Edfu. There we saw another temple of Horus- falcon headed son of Osiris. Took 200 years to finish. There we also saw two baby camels with fuzzy fur. Back on board for lunch and more cruising while reading trashy gossip magazines and getting some sun- all very relaxing.
Late in the afternoon we docked at Luxor, this was the end of our cruising. After dinner we had our gallibeya party in the bar. There were about 30 of us, our group and two other Geckos groups. Lots of great costumes. We played a few games and listened to Western and Arabic music. It was a fun night.
