On the Nile

Here's our boat and the temple of Kom Ombu. Reading about the temples doesn't prepare you for how marvellous they are. The carvings that cover every surface are of astounding quality and it's hard to believe they are not new but 5000 years old. Our Egyptologist guide is hugely informative and we're enjoying learning loads. Karnak Temple was our first and was stunning. The downside is a touch of the trots but at least we've got that out of the way early.
