TravelerThe Temples are beautiful.

Amazing to think that those buildings are thousands of years old. And a crocodile museum? Figment is going to be so jealous. [Andi]

Sunday. Temple of Hathor
May 29, 2022 in Egypt ⋅ ☀️ 106 °F
Had police escort. Visited the Temple of Hathor (Goddess of love, motherhood). Also the most colorful of all temples in Egypt. First century AD. Ceilings were gorgeous.

FINALLY Cleopatra is here.

It was 109 degrees. We walked up the stairs (circular as the way a falcon flies) then down another set of stairs straight down (as crow flies). As everything in Egypt has a meaning.

We are touching the wall of negativity. If you touch it, it pulls all negativity away.

Farewell reception tonight. Leave early am tomorrow for Cairo.Read more
OMG, that temple is breathtaking. And it is mindboggling to think that it is thousands of years old. [Andi]

TravelerThe other pictures are random shots in the city. The colorful ones are of the famous Khan el Kelleli bazaar. A labyrinth of old streets filled with vendors and artisans.

92 lb suitcase!
May 30, 2022 in Egypt ⋅ ☀️ 102 °F
This is a first! Dana and I had left one suitcase at the Four Seasons, took another one each on the Nile cruise. We did a good bit of shopping (as good little tourists!). My suitcase today on Egypt Air was 42.5 kg. Which equates to 92 lbs!! Holy cannoli. It was a tad heavy.

We overnight in Cairo then leave tomorrow afternoon. Our flight isn't until 730pm.
View from this hotel room is of the Nile this time!!Read more
TravelerView is surreal!

Well, at least you'll burn off some of the calories you consumed on your trip trying to drag that thing around. 92 lbs. Seriously???? [Andi]
