Egypt Part. 2

Great News!  I got a call today, they have two of our luggage at the airport in Tunis and we can pick it up on Saturday.  I am hoping the other two will show up and we can pick them all up at the same time. 
I left off with the city of Luxor.  We arrived at the port a little late because the Nile River was choppy due to the wind so they had to go slower.  We had lunch and by 1:30pm we are docking our first stop was going to be Edfu Temple.  We had a horse and carriage ride to the temple.  The carriages outnumber the cars in the city.  They are everywhere.
Here are  pictures of the Edfu Temple

In the morning, we went to the Valley of the Kings.  We could not take pictures at the Valley of the Kings but on the way there we saw some hot air balloons.
