To Be in Egypt.....

After the last post-visiting the Kom Ombo Temple
we were treated to this group of lively fellows playing music!

while everyone else partakes of assorted drinks or
smokes on the 'water pipe' we stay healthy by having
fresh Mango juice!


view from the boat- seeing the Temple & stalls for buying!

Temple of Horus- Ashley & Andrea

would like this :)

This is considered their 'Holy of Holy' area

Sharon, Donna & Robin

as we were cruising along- these boys wanted money
so we threw some in the water and they jumped in!

going through the Esna Lock- headed to Luxor!

these guys on the dock also wanted money-
I threw some to a boy in a film canister that he had
thrown up to me. One or two bigger guys jumped in
front of him to take it and a fight broke out. Not sure
of the little guy ever got it and I felt sad that they were
so desparate to get it....
