I have just spent 30 hours without accessing the internet, this is very hard for me. We are in the hot sun (well actually early dusk) of the Lower Kingdom of Egypt. Today we saw Karnak and Luxor and lots of Tourists and attentive Egyptians who long to help us and carry our bags or sell us book marks or old english (or german) newspapers.
Of course Egypt is atonishingly beautiful and the culture it promoted 3000 years ago is staggering. Last night we were entertained by a belly dancer. I marvelled at her firm flesh and flexible middle though I wondered at her excessive make up. I watched her fascinatedly for 25 minutes. This morning at breakfast our worldy wise shipmates told us she was a lady boy.
At Karnak D pointed out the sleeping dogs. There were 4 of them, totally realxed at key points on various parts of the temple. They woke up politely if tourist offered them food.
