Luxor Temple, in the middle of town.

   Today I let Tischa sleep and knocked on Ronnie and Stacey's door to see if they were awake yet. Ronnie answered, and we left for the road. Just getting in a cab, not knowing where it would bring us, we got out at a mall. I learned some Arab from Sana. Last night we had great fun with it. I asked her to translate; I have hairy armpits (Ana shar batack Qbir), I have smelly feet (Ana ra eha woasha), and big nose (Manachira kebira). When the shop owners get too pushy to get us in, I tell them I have a big nose, hairy armpits or smelly feet. Laughter guaranteed. So the same this morning, we left some bewildered shop keepers behind, to get to the Luxor Temple. We didn't get in the other day because of the exorbitant pricing, but this time, with the two of us, we go in. I tell the woman at the counter we are students, and she asks us for our student passes. I tell her I forgot them at home, and she gives us student entry tickets and keeps 10 pond baksheesh. Cool.

  Luxor is impressive, but what ain't in this ancient Egypt. The special part beside the many scratched faces are the roman influences. A door with an arc, a little brick stone temple, and some murals. I can feel the difference, as if the soldiers still march there.

     We get back to the hotel, where breakfast awaits us. Sana is taking care of us as if she were working in this hotel. We have to go, and I arrange for a taxi. Ronnie, Stacy and Sana come along to the bus stop, from which we leave for Hurghada. Great goodbye! We had a good time together.

At the Hotel.

  The bus trip takes 6 hours, and on the way Tischa has to take a leak on a fly friendly sitting toilet. She is brave and uses it. She is cool. Hurgada is what I thought it would be. Benidorm in Egypt. The hotel is clean, but the people seem to have less humor. While I kiss a small bald Egyptian head-waiter on his head (He is really small) the other waiters laugh. But the remarks about my nose miss target. Well... We go to sleep.
