Return to Cairo.

Dateline 09 Oct

Got up at 5, the chores and was ready well in time. Checked out and had our suitcase out in the lobby.

To the Valley of Kings. The trudge into the tombs of Ramses I and Ramses IV was a good exercise. Lekha was safely placed at an enclosure next to the entry point. Our next destination was the Hatshepsut Temple. The lady, Hatshepsut governed the country for 27 long years, when art and culture got their rightful due.

From the west of the River Nile, we went across to the east of the River Nile. Saw the Karnak temple and rounded off our visit at the Luxor temple. The river used to be at the Karnak and from there, the deity was taken to the Luxor temple by boats and the festivities continued for 11 days, every year.

Collected our suitcase from the boat, off to the airport but not before having dinner at an Indian restaurant which surprised me with no pickles!

At the airport, where things went off smoothly. Our flight was delayed because of VIP movement.

Hit the sack past midnight! At the Hotel Pyramid Park.
