 The tourist city of Luxor. Our hotel room had cockroaches. |
 Our first little excursion down (in this case across) the Nile |
 Small town not too far from the river |
 The camels can just plough on, and on... |
 Coptic monastery, dating back to the 11th century - the wall paintings are still preserved! |
 No water in sight |
 My guide with my camel |
 Our early-morning convoy to Aswan - a couple hundred little busses travel under armed convoy due to security concerns |
 The Sun Temple at Abu Simbel |
 Some carvings inside the temple |
 The royal family? |
 Cooking on the boat |
 The boat which took us down the Nile for two days - it's the one on the right! |
 Column with hieroglyphs |
 Now that's a colossus! |
 The back wall of the same temple |
 Carvings on the outside of a temple |
 This has been outside for a couple thousand years - and the colour in the paint still shows! |
 Monster twin statues |
 View down into the valley - we did the whole climb on donkey-back |
