All the temples used to be coloured but most of it has faded away. Apart from Karnak temple colours can be seen within the tombs but it is not permitted to take photos of those.

There are two obelisks at Karnak temple. I don't know whether this is Hatsheput's one or not.

Some random Nubian village somewhere between Edfu and Luxor.

Edfu temple is one the best preserved of all temples in Egypt.

Christian missionaries tried to destroy the pictures but the carvings were pretty deep. The only thing they could to was to wipe out the faces of the gods.

Horus, the son of Isis and Osiris.

Edfu temple. Apparantly this is the only temple in Egypt where everything is symmetrical. I was too tired to notice but you see it nicely on this pic

She'll be dancing like an Aussie when she comes, that's what the Nubians played on their drums.

Tyce might have discovered a Geanie in his bottle...

A few hours before the skinny dipping;-)

Listening to the songs Stuart and Hannah wrote, Sailing and Imaginitive Traveller. Hey guys, it's a shame you guys can't team up to create more songs.

This is the only sunset picture I have and you don't even see the sun. I was, once again, too slow.

Nicole, Clinton, Mahmoud, Stuart, Georgie and Liz.

Was it here that we had this amazing debate whether the second toe should be bigger than the first or not???

Hmm what's the matter Mel???

Not for all the money in the world would I sail down the Nile on a cruise boat. A felucca is an amazing thing because there is no noise apart from the rattling of the sail, the splash of the waves and the wind oh yeah and the sound of Stu playing the guitar.

Evening on the felucca

This is the only picture of Komombo temple I took because it was boiling hot and I just wanted to chill out on the boat...
