The included tour today was to the Temple of Horus which we visited in the morning. An extra tour was on offer for the afternoon, a motor boat ride looking at the local bird life. We all signed up for this, some more willingly than others and spent an interesting hour sailing round the cataracts spotting herons, pied kingfishers, an osprey and other more local birds. We came back to the boat to find our towels had been folded into amazing birds! In the evening it was the Galabia party. Maddison and I had bought them the day before at the Valley of The Kings in a shopping area called, quite aptly, The Valley of the Vultures at a very inflated price – he gave us free scarves and scarabs but it didn’t ease the pain .
The hieroglyphs are a calendar and ancient Egyptian medical tools
