went for 2 days felucca trip, arrived at Luxor tdy~~
2 days 2 nites at felucca wasn't as bad as i tot, can't say very very fun, River Nile was nice, but not very very nice, trip was relaxing in general, there were 6 of us PAX, 2 American "doctors", 2 Portugese Army, & 1 Australian teacher, + 2 boatmen, it was very spacious actually, actually not much to do lah, the 2 Portugese dun speak good Eng, then the 2 American guys always play card games themselves, e AU gal always read, so i chose to sleep lah~~ food wasn't tat great, got Arabic bread every meal, i really hate it, soooo dry!!! ytd whole day was kinda feeling sick so slept whole day & whole nite on e boat, great rest in tis trip, hahaha, tis morning e felucca reached Kom Ombo & we took another 2 hrs minibus ride to Luxor~
felucca
my group
on e minibus, met another 4 Chinese, 3 are doing their master/ PhD in France, 1 come from BJ, China & is traveling for 1 yr & tis is his 6th country already, sooooooooo cool~~
at first wanted to travel to the east coast for the beaches to do snokeling/ scuba diving, but 98% of e ppl i met on the trip seem to be heading to the same direction, i m changing my mind already, dunno who said Apr is low season in Egypt, tourists everywhere, sooooooo scary!!! i think i will stay in Luxor for 2 days & follow tis Chinese guy to the west desert instead, hahaha, at least desert is sthg i 've nvr done yet, beaches should be similar everywhere in e world~~ thou i really wanna go snokeling, but no choice, too little time, on my 5th day already, only 1 week left, sigh~~
traveling is really tiring, was trying to read up more about Egypt but e terms/ history really make no sense to me, kinda feel wasted when i visited all e temples/ museums cos the pictures all look e same to me, traveling should be relaxing shouldn't be using so much brain rite.....
visited Karnak Temple, Luxor
