just got off the bus in luxor and it's crazy madness to get a taxi
but there's already like cool stuff right here and we're taking a ferry across the nile
so we made it to the west side of luxor which is where our airbnb is we just had a little mini tour
around this west side of luxor we're trying to find somewhere to eat what did i get sharks
we're waiting on his chicken but we got this party across the street that looks funny saturday night
today we're going to explore the west side of the river starting with the valley of the kings
which is where all like the really cool tombs are so the tickets are kind of confusing here
the normal ticket only lets you enter three tombs but there's eight that
you can choose from so luckily we got a guide and he told us which ones to go to
and now tootin commons tomb which is the smallest
we were saying there's a lot of people here and our guide said before kovid sometimes
you'd have to wait an hour to even enter a team so i guess totally not as many as before then
now we're heading to the temple of het shep suit which is really close to the valley of the kings
we're heading back to our airbnb now but we're going to stop by the colossae of memnon on the way
she was surprising there are a million girls in like short shorts and skirts
i was stressing about what to wear here but it's really not as bad as i thought
getting on the real cherry this time instead of a little boat
so the big fairy is five pounds each or small boats for about 40 to 50 pounds
you just crossed over the nile to the east side so the east side is like the city
right there's like restaurants stores we're trying to find a restaurant this man followed us
with his horse he says 10 pounds for two people so we'll see what happens
so
we got egyptian pizza or egyptian pie pizza pie i don't know and hummus salad excited dinner
was really good we've just been walking around the east side here a little but we're about to
go get the ferry back to our airbnb oh we're getting in our boat tonight oh god i'm scared
no not scary thank you
made
to go it flexer temple which is not the side we're staying on it's on the east side
so we're taking one of the little boats we have to jump
jumped onto the boat now we gotta cross the nile which is so cool we got big boats
and then we got little row boats
so we're just getting to karnak temple to the other temple on the east bank
like the main one next to laksa temple but this is bigger than luxor temple
and i read something that said it's the second biggest temple in the world besides angkor wat
it's 200 pounds for a ticket and we're also going to try to get a guide because it's huge here
so the new parts are in between like the whole way up it's like new new and then old old
there's two ramses here his feet mean
life because they're apart and here they're together so it means death
it's crazy 4 000 years old and there's still like paint colors
we have to walk around the beetle three to seven times to get a good luck wish
we're in the open air museum right now you can just walk all around between everything
so yeah it's just like pieces but it's crazy and there's so much stuff
let's see if he charges us yeah i gave the dude five pounds but that's what like 25 cents or
something i don't know that's what everyone does here if something's like roped off or closed it's
not closed they let you in and then they just ask you for a tip so many dogs but karnak temple was
really cool it was way bigger than i thought it would be so having the guide really helped a lot
so while karnak temple closes around like 5 30 luxor's open until 9 or 10 pm
so we are going to try and watch the sunset here
we're taking so many pictures
surprisingly as well there's really not a lot of people here
literally you can't tell how big these like statues are
they're huge i'm at his foot i don't know how big they are but they're really big here
there's carly's
there's like a ton of stones back here
that apparently all came from the like original luxor temple and karnak temple
so many stones
we just started turning the lights on so we're just gonna sit here
and wait until it's dark so we can see like laksa temple at night
so it's like 20 minutes after sunset and it looks so nice now they turned all the lights on
there's so many more people though than there were like an hour and a half ago
we are finally leaving to go get food after being here what like now over an hour and a half but
here's the temple on one side and the
that we have to hide so there's not a lot of like alcohol here um but this one guy that is always
asking us for things is the one that has the football and he had wine so it's 250 for a bottle
but we have to hide it under the tape so we have like glass like a soda soda glass and
we have to hide the wine um veggies rice egyptian bread salad some chicken wine
these children have been trying to sell us a necklace every night that we've been here
and we keep saying no but yesterday i made the mistake of saying tonight
so so now we're buying a necklace i got this little necklace for 10 10 pounds aka 50 cents
you got a cute one show us cute same 10 pounds 50 cents but i'm finally leaving to go to aswan
our final boat crossing now i'm gonna try and find the train station we read a couple blog
posts that said you can just like get on the train and pay on the train but they are not
every two hours there's one at like 8 15 8 40 and 10 20 and then it's not again until like 7 00 pm
so we're gonna show up and see what we get on and hopefully we can pay on it
so we ask us for a ticket when we like x-rayed our bags and the ticket machine wasn't working so
everyone was just standing there and then the guy yeah said just go and you can buy it on the train
oh yeah
so i guess it was 155 each i don't know we gave him 300 it was 310 but we had 305 or 350 350.
cheese sandwiches and water for 20.
