Egypt 11 - More Travel Around The Nile

[debris4spike]

I realised that I had missed a couple of temples ... and then this set will finish with a final few from the last day of my holiday (another set to come, and then I'm done!)

About 2/3 of the way on our trip up the Nile, we had to go through the Esna Lock. It's a queue, that seems chaotic, but obviously done on every trip -










Along the Nile -











Yes, those are my feet!





All the sailors wore this uniform -









One of the Temples we went to was that of Kom Ombo dedicated to Sobek. We actually arrived after sunset, so that was fascinating. We also saw the Museum next door ... that contained 300 crocodile mummies ...






















And into the museum -









We also had an early start to see < href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_of_Edfu">The Temple of Edfu ... which is surprisingly intact ... the roof is in place. We had a "taxi" there and back ...








































it was at Edfu we learnt to count -


The top row, far right (after the bird) are ones, and readin towards the left ... the "n" are 10's, the "e" are 100's ... up to the man cheering which is 1,000,000

And so to our last night on the boat  ...
