Merry Christmas!
Our day started with breakfast on the boat. We met our guide at 8am and walked to the kom ombo temple. This was the first temple we saw that didn't have to be moved. The people used this temple to pray for health on one side and long life on the other. There were also doctors here who had already invented and practiced using stethoscopes!
This temple is also home to the Nilemeter which they used to measures the level of the water in the Nile and tax the farmers and the crocodile mummy museum. The Nile was full of crocks. They are now all living and protected in lake nasser.
Our boat sailed on to Edfu in the afternoon. Here we took a horse and carriage to the temple. Abdul likes this temple the best. It's very big. The people were separated into classes. 3rd class was outside and furthest away from the alter. Bri and Bec are standing in the 3rd class area in the photo below.
On our way out we bought galabayas for the party on the boat at dinner time.
Our Christmas feast included roast turkey.
Next stop .... Luxor
