Wednesday 19 March

I was already awake when the mosque across the road started at 4:30am. The engines started at 5:20, and I got up to see the sunrise.
At 9:15 we headed off by horse and carriage to Edfu temple, through the market place and the crazy traffic. Already we are feeling a bit ABT. We got back to the boat for lunch and a loaf, and then were at Kom Ombo for another temple, some mummified crocodiles and sunset.
This evening we all dressed for dinner in our Egyptian gear, then had a party afterwards.  Spain v Oz in silly games. By bedtime we were at Aswan.
