Seeing the sites of Luxor: Rest Day.

Today was going to be a special day in Luxor.  I had watched plenty of documentaries about Luxor, the valley of the Kings, valley of the Queens, Temple of Karnak and I was heading straight for it.  With a terrific meal for breakfast we were on our way to our first destination. Valley of the Queens, followed by the Valley of the Kings, the temple of hatshepsut, and to end the day we stopped at the temple of Karnak.

                    this will be our daily schedule for the next week.




Mia and Mohammad and Youseff from the Boomerang Hotel Luxor.  Such lovely people. 

The sights of each monument was absolutely mind blowing.  To stand where the creation of mathematics, thousands of years ago was born.  Where thousands of people help build tombs for Pharaohs, their children, their wives is so difficult to comprehend.  Basically we had a fantastic day the 9 of us. We were out for 8 hours touring Luxor and all it's attractions and enjoying the time off the bike.  Tomorrow it would all start again as we make our way to Aswan to board the ship for SUDAN.
