We had to get up early, say goodbye to our crew and get to Aswan airport for the 9:30 flight to Abu Simbel, about 300km south almost to Sudan. It took only 30min, then we got an Egyptian Air bus to our last 2 ancient temples. This is another site saved from the dam by UNESCO. There are some really big statues and lots of interesting carvings.
Back on the plane and I discovered that there was wifi at the airport. But we got back to the Marriott and found that they have free wifi in the lobby so now we're set for a few days. On the way back we stopped for a 4 course Italian meal on a floating restaurant on the Nile. It was very crowded because it was Mothers' Day. It reminded us of another Italian meal on a boat.
