Before we tackle the scree and the drop down into Hatshepsut there is one more view from the heights. This is New Gourna. If you have looked at the Hot Air Balloon series in Rusticana
( http://www.pbase.com/galleria_rusticana/image/77731378 ) you will have seen the devastation on the slopes of the Scarp that was Gourna. Families displaced from two hundred years of living have been offered new housing here. It is a long way from their old homes and from where they made their living and times are very hard.
