I'm sitting up on the deck of our cruise boat 'The Nile Sun'. My expectations of a 5 stars cuise were not met as earlier predicted it is more of the 3 star, but nonetheless its not too bad, they do have some great food on board.
I'm pretty sure our room is directly above the engine room, because last night as we started to cruise our entire room begun to shake and vibrate terribly. Our room only has 1 life vest for the two of us and so far I've only spotted 2 life boats, so I can't help but feel like I'm on the Titanic, but rest assured we won't be hitting a ice berg, that much I can be certain of.
This morning saw us docked at Kom Ombo, where this amazing duo temple is built. In my opinion it has been the best preserved temple that we've seen so far. This temple is unique because it's dedicated to two gods Sobeck & Haroeis the Crocidile and Falcon gods. It also has a lot of Roman-Greek artichieture, it made for a fascinating look. One thing that continues to surprise me here is how well perserved the pictures are on all the columns and walls. I also wonder how they originally made them, all the pictures are etched about 2cm deep into the rock and then painted and in some areas the paint still remains from thousands of years ago.
Well I'm getting surrounded by a bunch of seniors from America up here, which is my cue to head toward a deck chair, grab a drink and just relax until we reach our next destination.
Until Luxor,
Mandz...keeping it real.
