Travel Egypt, Turkey (D7)

Day 7-1/21 (Wed) Luxor Luxor

Morning Sun has yet to show we are woken up, cold air is hard to not immediately turn to God.

The fisherman is built on the shore dragging to kindle the fire of Hay, frozen one night we were fast becoming like a moth to the fire. We have no regrets frozen experience, this journey too hard or too deserve! warm too, then we want to continue sailing until morning near 11 points to get to the Kom Ombo Temple, sobec not far from the front of the shore. Departure we gave's skipper 50 El as a tip.

Drag all of his fortune shopping spots really is not very easy, we in the Temple of the tea room at ease, half the people go to visit the temple, when the second batch of people visit, visit finished you can go to the contact scooters.

Compared to the previous number of temples dedicated to the Kom Ombo Eshen is a heap of ruins, or like the construction of the site (see figure, sobec Temple Colonnade). Tickets are cheap, only 5 El. Here tourists rarely, only travel bag cruise ship will stay here in a bit of visitors visiting the temple. But that is because people rarely, can we have the opportunity to climb the poles and frescoes to more intimate contact! next encounter problems let us a bit flustered, Kom Ombo to Luxor scooters must be accompanied by the police, of course, price is relatively expensive, desperation we decided to take the local bus. Door stop in spots a ragged little dual-purpose cars (from attractions and bus station) direct to the bus station, ticket is 3.5 El/person. Our line of eight joint a pile of luggage huddled in a small hot compartment, looking at the cars after the rolling sand awaiting the next schedule. It's not long before coming to a town, the bus stops in bus station. Station man smoking a hookah chewing sugar cane chatted days, ask before we go on Luxor Shuttle, station of English is very poor, after a long period of time by repeatedly asking for and confirm that we only know one thirty or so had a car would go there and transhipping Edfu, there is another objective of the US, the Temple of Horus. Waiting for the bus of the nearly an hour, all our efforts and locals chatting communication, Michelle asked town boy borrowed bicycles go around and give us back a delicious lunch. The town of people rush just harvesting of sugar cane car we smile, also our many as gifts. This town on the rustic like Egypt commercial dark stream one fountain attract us, but after that I almost never have had such a feeling.

Our car is finally here, is that China's long-haul air-con, just compare the old and did not feel the air conditioning concepts.

2 hours by car take the 3 El/person. Station away from the Temple of Horus also some distance, to save time we make a return trip is 30 El. Compared sobec Temple here is many, many, Temple group is large and here exclusively dedicated to the God-Ruth — Eagle Royal power of symbolism. The entrance is on the back of the temple walls are a great relief, depicting a Pharaoh to Dutch Luce and gods blessing. External doors and interior doors, at the two has a pair of Eagles God stood, it is interesting to note that only the right of the statue is complete. Both the statue is slightly different, the outermost front stood a small statue in human form, and the innermost is a symbol of the red and white Crown of upper and lower Egypt, looks more dignified. Temple of Horus is 10 El fares. We in order to catch the next train to Luxor so nor too much here to stay, however troubling is Egypt's shuttle was never to be punctual, 4 point half would go to the car was in a 5 and a half to get to the point. We wait for the place is actually a police station and many tourist police access to, and previously seen in other parts of the police, they were live ammunition. In addition, loess and Sandy in Egypt see most of the tourist police, black uniforms, brown skin, a walk in the streets straggling, Egypt people pay attention to the tourist attitude evident. Soldier began we were very serious, but a second to talk slowly becomes free, we take a flight to their police and armed soldiers to several features in Egypt but that are not allowed. Was only just before the sun goes down, etc to our departure, staggered from here to Luxor and spent about 3 hours, fare is 8 El/person. Car midway in several small station a short stay, you can go buy something to eat, or to fill hungry and car Egypt ggmm chat. Needless to chat up they also automatically at her door, because after all, we are also regarded as a foreigner, compare rare! to station is 8 p.m., not distinguishing direction we alighted can only continue asking, last or with the help of the police stopped a van to the hotel, the fee schedule is 20 El/person. It seems that very night in Luxor's hilarious, passing an open-air Bazzar, unanimously decided to read the spots went to take a good look around.

Shady Hotel is a listed Samsung's restaurant, looks better than before we are living in style, but when the time of registration must be heard in the hotel restaurant provides a strong sexual, we felt cheated.

This evening is the Chinese lunar new year's Eve, our original plan was to lay down their luggage and then go out for a big dinner, departure from China so distant offsite a special new year. Undoubtedly, this dream has been torn down. We argue in the foreground and the boss, because our room rate in Aswan already paid to the agent, now leaving hotel is impossible, we have repeatedly stressed that today is the Chinese traditional festivals, and we are students, and turns, only to be agreed only in hotel with a dinner, strong sexual consumption is 15 El/person. Once again we are deeply after having fallen into Egypt operating means is hated, unanimously decided severely bargaining must longer wasting any money. After dinner stroll in the streets, and roadside Van drivers owner doesn't allow it, on the street side shops enjoy freshly squeezed juice. Originally, or want to rent a second day on its ownTo the West Bank, but our time is too tight, but finally decided to make the trip just fine. It is a game of wits of the rally, in several round after the owner Mohamed (Egypt liar ten nine is the name) has finally conceded to 60 El price car package to us, but the driver from the original he became a brother is not English, is not willing to suffer! all the things get, we return to the hotel, although the Shady left me impressed by the very poor, but at least here the water is kept hot, but large enough to make me well have washing head.
