Aswan. Back to Reality

AAHHH the cruise has finished. BOO.

We were woken this morning and the four of us had breakfast in the plush lounge.
After breakfast we joined Caroline and Johns guide again who took us in a mini bus and went to the Old Dam and the High dam. It was cool to see but although its the 2nd highest in the world, it doesn't really look like it because of the old one.

Then we went to another temple that was beautiful, but the most amazing thing about it was that it had been oved. When the dams were made, the original island that the temple was on was flooded, meaning that the temple was spoiling. The solution was to take each stone piece by piece and put it onto another Island and rebuild it!. The only thing that is wrong with it is that it is not symmetrical as all temples should be but the Island was not big enough.
We drove back to the boat for one last swim and sun bathe.

We met up with our rep (I've been referring to him as our guide, but he hasn't guided us through anything!), showed us to a hotel, then took us to the train station where we booked our journey back to Cairo.

We said our goodbyes to him and went and met John and Caroline at a restaurant that everybody was recommending us to eat in called Macca. WE had a strange meal. I didn't like the service (this 5 star stuff has turned me into a snob) or what I ordered.
Id ordered stuffed pigeon of all things. God they had so many other nicer dishes and I chose a flying rat. Well done.
He then gave our bill and it looked like he'd just made it up which was also annoying.
Despite that the company was nice we said our last "housekeepers do it on your beds" jokes which have been running all through the cruise.
Last night they did it on Caroline's bed with a towel and a bunch of flowers. They only did it with a towel on Maurices bed .... and they folded up my clothes after they did it on mine.

Said our goodbyes to John and Caroline, then went to our hotel and realised that the swimming pool only got sun before 1300 everyday so we changed hotels, to a much much cheaper hotel. This had a pool on the roof and loads of Aussies, bonus!.

Maurice came back from the pool and he wanted to go for a run, so we walked through the bazaar and I stayed in a restaurant next to the Nile. We met some of the Aussie having dinner there when Maurice came back and had a meal and a few beers with them.
