October 5 – One more temple

After leaving our ship and packing up our luggage onto the bus we took a boat ride to see the Temple of Philae.  This is reputed to be the burial ground of the god Osiris, god of the underground who often appears with a green face.

We then returned to Cairo for our last night in Egypt.  We said goodbye to those flying home or onto Kenya.

October 6 was a travel day.  We headed to the airport in Cairo ad flew to Amman Jordan to meet up with our guide, Omar and the 5 who flew in from the states.  A good portion of the day was spent at the airport looking for lost luggage.  We finally left without it and drove the 3 hours to the Movenpick Petra.
