After the Temple of Sobek, we got back on the boat for lunch and a cruise a little further up the Nile to Edfu. We got off the boat in Edfu and got into horse carriages that took us to see the Temple of Horus. (Darren's favorite, I'm sure -- he is the Falcon God ...)
We wake on the boat in Kom Ombo. We have breakfast on the boat, and then leave the boat at 9am. We went to see the Temple of Sobek. (Can't remember how we got there! hmmm... walked I think...)
The funny thing about this temple ... our guide pointed us to a little room and told us there were mummified alligators in there ... We walked in, saw nothing and walked out -- Mostafa, figuring we must be dense, walked over to show us where they were - Yep, they were gone. He was quite surprised! They had moved them to a museum that is under construction. There is also a statue here with a missing head on the statue ... we wanted our $ back...
Dinner is lateish - 7pm... there is a "party" at night. Dress in Egyptian garb and play games... our guide was the MC (master of ceremonies), so, some people felt compelled to go - Darren, Grandma, Bry & Ann-Marie... The rest of us enjoyed the towel arrangements in the hallways, and then went to bed ....
Whenever you left the room in the morning, the house cleaning would come in, make up the room, and then leave you a towel creation ... The kids loved it!
Towel scorpian .... towel monkey hanging from the ceiling, complete with TP tail ....
Lotus flower ... alligator eating a cobra, with another cobra on top ...
