Abu Simbel to Sharm ...where's the loo?

Hello all;
I'm finally back on line after a few days of being on the boat.

We left Cairo and flew to Aswan...it was a few days ago, I don't remember when.
All I know is that I started to feel crappy shortly thereafter.

I took a half day excursion to Abu Simbel on that day -- I was feeling fine then-- and it did not disappoint. Abu Simbel would have to be the most impressive temple or ruin I have ever seen ...and I do mean EVER!! It was well worth the effort to fly there and back. If you haven't seen it I would suggest checking it out online. To be honest I wasn't sure if it would be worth the effort, but it was spectacular. It's not like viewing the pyramids....which are really more impressive from a distance...it's got the 'wow' factor that the sphinx and pyramids are lacking (for me).
We've seen tons of sites...actually I reached my threshold somewhere between Karnack and Luxor. I've learned so much about kings and gods/goddesses...my head has been swimming. Our very excellent guide, Rhonda, provided us with an overview of each site, and she explained everything in great detail. We visited: Philae, KomOmbo, Edfu and Esna and then when we got to Luxor we visited Karnack and Luxor temple.

Cruising up the Nile....it reeks of romance and adventure?? -No. It just reeks of diesel fumes. I'm sure that this contributed to me feeling crappy. I did enjoy the actual sailing part, but I felt "off" the entire time. The best part for me was sitting on the top deck and watching the farmers in the sugar cane fields. I saw all types of working animals: donkeys, water buffalo and camels...farming here is a lot different than in Canada. The cruise was pretty good, but I'm not a good sailer -- we left the boat yesterday morning and I still feel like waves are passing thru me. It must be an inner ear thing...
Currently I'm in Sharm el-Sheik on the Red Sea. We're at a lovely resort ...the Movenpick Golf Resort...but I haven't seen much of it. Yesterday we had lunch, and then I was feeling really crappy. Most of my time here has been in bed or in the bathroom. I was certain that I would die here last night - (seriously). Richard and Cindy claim that they will not let me die here...I'll have to hold them to it!

I'm sorry this is a rushed installment of my blog, but I'm just not thinking clear enough to compose more.

Bye for now!
