Today we made our way to Abu Simbel, now don't tell anyone but I found it rather disapointing. There were literally thousands of tourists and waking up at 2.30am to go visit a sight is too intense. It might be odd to say but the thing I really did enjoy about Abu Simbel was Lake Nassar, the worlds largest man made lake. After pushing and shoving my way through the hordes of people into the temple I made my way out towards the lake and took some time to just sit and relax. Holidays don't have to be all about doing things 24/7 , I on the other hand like to just relax. Prehaps because my life is full of things to do, this is my chance to actually relax and do as little as possible while at the same time squeezing in some sightseeing.
I'm also getting to the stage where Im begining to dislike catching buses and trains and the thought continues to play on my mind that we need to catch a train back to Cairo on Friday night- 8 hours, then a bus from Cairo to Dahab on Sunday 8 hours, plus the ferry from Egypt to Jordan at the end of next week, and the bus making our way up Jordan. Oh well got to think of the happy things, like drugs to make me sleep on those journeys.
Well I got a cruise boat to go catch, apparently its 5 stars but I haven't got big hopes for that.
Until next time,
Mandz, curising up the Nile...
