Egypt
First thoughts...
23.11.2007
I flew into Hurgada in the middle of the afternoon on the 21st and was greated by very agreeable weather. Warm, but not hot and with a nice breeze, however, I was only planning on staying one night because everything I read about Hurgada said it is a town based on self sufficiant resorts so while the resorts themselves are beautiful, the rest of the town is a pit. They couldn't have been more right, the entire town was basically half finished skyscrapers that I'm not sure would ever get done... I left first thing in the morning and I got into Luxor last night at about 7pm after a six hour bus ride. My hotel is nice, the people are great and just want very much to make sure that I am taken care of and happy. Went out to dinner (pita bread, cucumber salad, tahinia and a beef shish kabob for the grand sum of 3$) and then back to the hotel to relax, I am spending the day wandering around luxor (which has three temples) eating a fresh pomogranite and then I think tomorrow I will go across the nile and spend the day at the valley of the kings... Luxor is great so far, people are super nice (I've accumulated quite the little stash of free gifts) and I am having an excellent time!
