And we're off

We were so bleeried eyed this morning. Everyone managed to get up and made it to the coah to be transferred to the flight and then the next hotel. We were met by another Peltours rep who escorted us through the terminals of te airport and we were met in Luxor by a different one again with a people carrier all to ourselves. We were settled into our hotel and introduced to our Egyptologist who, again, we had all to ourselves. He was called Yasser and we nick named him Charlie as he called us his angels. He is pictured here with Rich.

The final judgement papyrus painting



Yasser took us to a papyrus museum so we could see how it was made. I bought one for myself called the final judgement. There is a link below that explains the papyrus painting.

Sonesta St George Hotel

We stayed in another 5 star hotel called the Sonesta St George

This hotel was beautifully decorated and had the most stunning chandelier in the foyer. The people were very polite and helpful and the rooms were lovely.
