Day Three (Part 1) - Karnak

Again I skipped breakfast. After Sabine had come back I decided I'd been in bed long enough and that it was time to actually start seeing some of this wonderful land. We decided that we would go to Karnak in the morning and Luxor temple in the afternoon.

When we left the hotel we were accosted by Saymon, the calesh driver who had taken my wife to the chemist. We thought "what the hell" and asked him to take us to Karnak.

After a 10 minute ride we arrived at Karnak. Saymon said he'd wait for us and take us to his house for lunch. By this time I was his brother and Sabine was his sister. Boy do you learn the hard way. We had trouble with him all week but that story will come later.

We queued for our tickets and then entered one of the most spectacular sites I've ever visited. Karnak is truely a special place. Today it is awe inspiring but in it's heyday it must have been incredible.

We spent a good two hours walking around Karnak, taking pictures and just enjoying the beauty of the place.

The following are pictures I took while at Karnak. I'm afraid I haven't labelled them yet but that will come when I get more time...
