Egypt, Aswan
Abu Simbel, day 2
|
|
|
Today we woke up at 02.45 AM. The minivan was going to join the caravan to Abu Simbel. A military Colon is going to protect us from whom? on this trip. My alarm goes of, and Ronnie comes to wake us a little later. He didn't sleep at all. We hurry towards the mini-van.

We are with 4, and there is enough space to sleep on the seats. We all have one. We have to wait for more buses to join, and it takes more than an hour before we go. We try to sleep, while it is still dark, and when the sun gets up, we suddenly see we are in the middle of the desert.

|
It is not the kind of desert with the sand dunes I depicted. It looks like heaps of rubble, left by some crazy man digging for what? in the middle of nowhere. A lot of rubbish on the road and a few roadblocks. We arrive at Abu Simbel. Ronnie is filling the mini-van with balloons, and some of them fly out of the window...

The Temple is immense. I can't believe I am here. This is ancient Egypt as I have only seen in the books. I take a lot of pictures, and Tischa loves it there.

We enter the first temple, and are reminded not to take any pictures. We can keep our camera's with us, and many people still try to make pictures. Suddenly a man takes Ronnie's camera, thinking he is trying to make pictures.

I walk away, because I want to make some pictures. Ronnie gets the guard out of the way. Tischa is with Ronnie and Tracy and me disappear in one of the rooms. I seem to feel still the presence of the novices that sat here waiting. Tracy also disappears into feeling, and tourist pass but we don't notice them. We are in another time. We move slowly, in contact with the ancient atmosphere. Standing in front of the big statues at the end, I suddenly see the alien presence. These were aliens for sure. Sharing their frequencies, while we shared ours. It is impressive.

We leave and look for Ronnie and Tischa. Just follow the balloons says Tracy, and so we see them.

We move on to the next temple and make loads of pictures. Wow. What a happening. We leave for the mini-van, just to stop for a drink.

We sit outside under cloth sun shading and Ronnie starts his act again. All those happy faces! It's marvellous. Then the driver comes over to get us. It's time to get into convoy.

The trip back is heavy. The sun is hot, and while the taxi is ours, and we can sleep in the back, Tischa gets sick and vomits. We stop and she vomits some more. It's the sprite. I clean her a bit, and off we go again. I am having a slight headache also. I am happy to be back. We relax.
