Dragonflies of Egypt tour (3)
17 July: Abu Yassin Baylor Temple-Aswan trade Mart at 3: 00 hotel is called early, my jet lag or not the other way around, this is equivalent to Beijing time 8: 00 in the morning, I woke up and has been packed baggage. The hotel has helped us packaged good breakfast. Wow, a lot of bread, about six or so, there's an Apple, a banana, a bag of fruit and a bottle of water, so heavy! Aswan and Abu Yassin Baylor Temple takes approximately 4 hours by car shall be equipped with police car care team cannot get off on the toilet, all to Abu Yassin Baylor Temple vehicles will not be at 4: 00 in the police regulations place. When we arrived we already have several vehicles, etc. After about 20 minutes, fleet set out of Guangzhou. Egypt's desert coverage up to 97%, the car did not open soon into the Sahara desert, was excited at the start, then all is desert, aesthetic fatigued at sunrise took some photos and then drifted off to sleep. About 6: 30 or so, the car stopped suddenly and drivers brother and our tour beneath the car, it was a long time, no see they came, they say they go to a big number. Suddenly I found in our car is not a distant desert drivers brother very devout to the Sun's place in prayer, he first hand on the chest, kneeling down, mouth Mumbles flat, whole body close to the desert, standing up, and knelt down, head, the prayer for about 2 minutes. Then get on the move. Abu Yassin Baylor Temple about 8: 30, the first thing in the toilet, each beauty spot of toilets are 1 EGP tips, if you don't have it, you and he said to the ' change ' will be looking to give money, very friendly and very clean, the toilet are mostly without the pungent odor. First I saw Abu Yassin Baylor Temple before dam, in the Sahara desert have so calm, limpid, broad surface, phosphorescent refraction, very fascinating to me. The guide said that the other side of the dam is the Sultan's territory, we have reached the border of Egypt and Sudan. Abu Xin Temple of Bel and the pyramid enjoyed high reputation, 4 Rameses II of the world famous giant statue, its history and monuments no longer description. Rameses II is a perfect man, he is handsome appearance, Super wisdom, and most importantly loves his wife, next to the Temple of Abu Yassin Baylor, he built a temple for his wife, the color is vivid murals, sculptures and Abu Yassin Baylor Temple in different ways, images are concave carved, and Abu Yassin Baylor Temple images is convex sculpture, very mysterious. Inside the Temple of Abu Yassin Baylor pictures is not allowed inside the air is not very good, there is a sharp smell, I ran through came out. Each attraction has the hawkers selling stone carving, scarf, postcards, cotton textile robe, etc, but the quality is very poor, they see tourists take the goods to sell: ' One Dollar, One Dollar '. Some vendors are very smart, so the Guide to help guide the $ 1 that hawker = 5 EGP, our car would buy a lot of postcards, Nile maps and local Memorial currency, the payment of the EGP is wise guide, do not suffer losses on both sides, this is a win-win situation at that time, the temperature reached! 42 °, we all stand, see the freezer is like seeing the Savior, ask before on a Coke prices, the waiter will ask: "Chinese OR Japanese? We said that the Chinese people, they put the price up to 20 El pounds, we say it is too expensive, and he wished that result 5 EGP deal! 11: 00, we drove back to Aswan. A get on the train I tired to no, all the way to sleep. 15: 00 arrived in Aswan. Tonight we are going to take the train to Cairo, it's still early, we decided to go to Aswan trade market. Aswan roads not wide, ground and flattening of horse manure, feeling very untidy. The market is not large, quality, lead us in Egypt's sand, in various shapes of glass bottles, with color pictures of sand draw a rich color of Egypt. In Egypt, the market all the things you can bargain, last 15 EGP fix (bottle size, prices are not the same, we buy are medium, there are about 200 ml size). We take the 7: 00 from Aswan to Cairo's train, 6: 10 and came to the station. Egypt train shabby, I had already heard about them, but did not think very dirty, a lot of people, we all tried to train runs, some people want to crawl through the window, and scare the shit out of me. Fortunately we are two people soft sleeper, balcony, air-conditioned cars are small, and just see the scenario I have satisfied. Train than I imagined on time, 7: 05 separate car. Train supply dinner and breakfast the next day, I only ate the bread and the other did not touch. 8: 30 or so, the conductor came to our bench into beds have stalls, fairly clean, I am tired to no, your sleep. 3: 00 a.m., I was hot woke balcony, air conditioning, found off, it is maddening! to be continued.
