Worthless and Weak

Today I slept in till about 10, I guess I was pretty tired. Upon getting up and out, I was harrassed by some guy for too long, finally though when he realized I wasn't going to give him any money he left.

Then I made it over to the West bank again, and hired out a taxi to take me to the places I didn't go yesterday, this was an INCREDIBLE idea, as these places are in general just as good with one tenth the tourists there. The valley of the queens had no lines at all, and the heiroglyphs were just as good (although tombs were smaller). But still, tour groups don't really go there (the big three on the West Bank are the Temple of Hapshetshut, the West Bank, and the Collossi of Memnon (see yesterday's post).

Next up was the Ramasseum, or the temple of Ramses the Great. It was very good, again it was almost empty, and while not quite as impressive as the Temple of Luxor, it was still a very very good temple.

Medina Habu, the third site I went to today, is the second largest Egyptian Temple, and its Giant heiroglyphs were pretty awesome. Again, I wish I could upload photos, maybe when I get to Aswan... Or worst case, when I get to America.

The rest of the day was spent on a Feluca ride to Banana island, which was nice, (although I got ripped off for it).

Tomorrow, I go to Edfu and Kom Obo, this should be fun and then on to Aswan. (Luxor has been nice, but its been a bit much at times, it seems like you can't walk ten feet without somebody asking you to buy something).
