Luxor to Edfu

We started the day early - breakfast at about 7:00 so that we could be prepared to tour at 8:00. The sun gets hot very early, so you want to be outside early in the morning. We headed through Luxor, passing the Club Med on the way and the luxor temple.

Day 3 Windsor to Cairo

Just sitting here in Heathrow waiting for our flight to Cairo. You could probably live in this place (if you could afford it).

At the seafood bar, which does look nice, you can get caviar and a glass of champagne only 455 pounds! But I'm getting ahead of myself.

Day - 2 - tooling around west of London

Day - 2 Ok so we (Jim and I) were a little slow off the mark this morning. Dave rang our room at 9:00 after walking along the Thames and through the town for an hour - our wake-up call.

Preparing for Cairo !

Dale and I are off to Cairo with cousin Dave. 

We’ll be travelling through the UK, spend a few days there, then off to Cairo and a 4 day NILE cruise, seeing the sites.  We’ll be aboard M/S Shahrazade – a cruise ship for about 100 passengers.  We travel from Luxor.
