Back on the Grid

We just got back into Cairo, we have spent the last 3 days on the cruise down (up) the Nile river. We started the cruise in Luxor, then cruised south (which is actually upstream - against the current) to Edfu then Aswan. We visited the Tombs in Valley of the Kings in Luxor, where King Tut, many Pharos from the Ramses line of rulers, and others have their tombs.

I will be blogging each days activities in more detail as I get more time. We are right near the Pyramids of Giza, tomorrow morning we get up at 6:45am, have breakfast, then a full day of visiting the Pyramids, most likely grab a camel ride, and get nutty in Cairo. We will be back at the hotel at 6pm-ish (Cairo time). We then depart early morning Thursday.

The trip has been amazing, each day and each site better than the one before. There was a point in Luxor where we all felt that we did not need to see any more Temples...but then when we saw Edfu temple we were blown away. The horse and buggy ride through downtown Edfu was awesome.

I am posting a bunch of pics and videos now, with more to come. I will also be posting more details about the sites we have visited and our experiences.

BTW, we are getting along fine as travel partners :)
