Today's main activity was visiting the two temples at Abu Simbel. The two options for getting there are a four drive in a military convoy (for fear of breaking down, not secure) or on Friday's a 45 minute flight. It all amazes me that we left Aswan at 10am and then flew back at 1pm. The temples were incredible, especially inside where no your guides or photos are allowed for fear of garbage to the carvings. It is also amazing to consider that they were relocated in the 1960s (as were 15 other temples), because of the Aswan High Dam.
Upon arrival back in Aswan we transferred to our cruise ship for our first of nine buffet meals! We don't sail until tomorrow at 1:30pm, so this afternoon a few of us visited the Nubian museum, which was very interesting abd psychiatry so fir me as these proper ate probably the people if Cush from biblical times who resided in Sudan.
There was a problem with the Egypt Air computer system so another lady, Janet and I didn't receive our boarding passes until everyone was almost on the plane. We were placed in business class, which just meant we were at the front of the plane and got a juice before take off. Upon disembarking we got our own private bus to take us into the terminal. The driver even stopped so we could take a photo of the welcome sign.
