Egypt

Zoe's Perfect dessert

 Banana Split  at our Resort

The Stack Pyramid,

one of the older pyramids and, to be honest it wasn't super cool, lots of crumbling rocks but some parts of the temple nearby had better colours this was also the first thing we saw from ancient Egypt.

  

The Great Pyramids of Giza

MASSIVE Pyramids almost 5000 years old and the only ancient wonder of the world still standing

in all honesty they over rated, plus it was like $50 per person to go inside, They were cool but not that cool just big piece's of crumbling rock.

Busy as you'd expect

Lot's of stray dogs in Egypt :(

The sphinx was just a bit away from the pyramids and was a bit smaller than I expected, It also seamed like the outside was very blocky. I did wonder who took the nose though.

Aswan

We took a boat tour around the area and we stopped at this hill with old tomb's for the noble's of Aswan. They weren't in the best shape but they were the start of our tomb exploring. There was a Monastery there but we decided not to go because of the heat.

This temple was going to flood because of a damn installation, so they moved it stone by stone to a higher island and it still looks like it's in decent condition. You have to take a boat to get out there. Probably my second favourite temple with the design and the fact it's a decent size.

There was these 3 super cute baby cats that liked to play with the straps of Dad's day pack. They were really playful but they're mom wasn't as nice. (They lived at the restaurant we had went to.).

The Abu Simbel temples were definitely my favourite Temple, Built by the king Rameses made for him and his wife Nefatari. I liked it because it was pretty intricate inside and some of the colours looked pretty good still.

It was actually moved from somewhere else that is flooded now too if you look at the rocks you can see stuff that doesn't seem normal but otherwise they did a really good job. 

After Abu Simbel we went on a 3 night cruise and it was pretty nice and a nice break before doing all the tomb's in Luxor.

The valley of the kings is also really cool with some of them having pretty good colours after the few thousand years. 

After Valley of the kings just me and Dad went to the valley of the nobles and one of them was pretty cool but otherwise I didn't like them that much. The one I like more was deeper underground and the paintings were still pretty vibrant. Also after that the 2 of us went to valley of the queens and 2 of the sons of the Queens died while they were baby's and there tombs there. Surprisingly the colours were still pretty vibrant but the other ones weren't super cool.

Snowboarding in Egypt was an interesting experience. All the equipment was pretty bad and there was no gloves, but it was funny snowboarding in one of the hottest country's on earth.
