Lots in Luxor

Last night we went to the Luxor temple which is gorgeously lit up at night. It's quite large and very pretty. There's an obelix that's the twin to the one on the Place de la Concorde in Paris. There's also a very pretty row of Sphinxes. All quite impressive.

Today we had a 5am wake-up call in order to see the sights before it got too hot. It still got hot. I'd hate to be visiting during the height of Summer. The Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens were both impressive. We also saw some "minor" temples along the way.

Night train to Cairo tonight...oh yeah he says sarcastically. At least we have some time to chill at the moment. We stayed in Le Meridien last night. Very swanky. We've stayed in a couple of 5 star hotels on this tour. It's amazing that they could include such good hotels in a cheapish tour. But, then, a lot of things are quite cheap here. We've even ordered room service as it was so cheap. Whoops, I've just mentioned food again (sorry, Steve!).
