Abu Simbel

After a 4am start in an armed convoy we arrived in Abu Simbel.
Magnificent statues and the temple inside was amazing.
Must say that Ramses II was quite vain - he certainly built alot of statues of himself.
We boarded our cruise boat in the afternoon for our 3 day trip to Luxor.
The boat  holds about 130 people but is only about half full - mainly Germans cooking themselves in the sun and some French people.
Stopped at the Kom Ombo temple for a evening tour.
