After a terrific time in luxor we headed out for another 118km ride to another desert camp. We rode in the usual group and the weather was just fantastic, not hot, and with a good tail wind. We were in for lunch by 8.30 and completed the ride by 10.30am. Not bad, 118kms over with by that time of the day.
After setting up tent in tent in the loca football ground, the usual crew went for a walk around town. This was perhaps the first time we were set upon by the local kids who were extremely persistant and a pain in the arse.
With so much of the day free, both lindsay, Rodney and myself went to visit the Hores Temple of Edfu. The temple was fabulous and it's amazing how those engravers got to do such an incredible job, and at height. if you would like to read about the temple, once again go to google com, they will help you out.

After dinner we went for another walk and some more of that mint tea which tastes so nice. Back to the footbal field to crash.
