Temple of Horus; Hoisting the Sails

Tuesday, 6/4. Many photos today. Traveled by buggy to the Temple of Horus. Very well preserved. Wall drawings had a significant number of boats. Temple surrounded by an ancient Coptic settlement, who scratched out many of the faces. But their presence helped save the temple from destruction.

In the afternoon we hoisted sails and proceeded to go . . . nowhere. No wind. But we piled into the tender to circle the boat for a photo op. Nice little cruise.

Tied up in a very rural area, so I took the opportunity to stretch my legs, alone. Ended up jogging for about ten minutes within the walk. It felt great to be in the great outdoors without keeping one eye on the tour guide. Everyone was very friendly. One group of kids were fishing plastic bottles out of the water, of which there were many. Contributed my water bottle when I’d emptied it.

Many companions watched Death On The Nile. I’m 60% through the book.
