Trip to Aswan - Day 3

We had to wake up at 3 am to take a bus to see all the touristic places around Aswan: Abu el Sid, Philae Temple, the Dam and unfinished obelisk..
We were all tired and sitting in a packed little mini van; one Russian lady was sick and she threw up. It was a nice day, althoug tiring and we decided to go and see the unfinished Obelisk.




it has been an amazing trip, we enjoyed seeing all the monuments, making fun of the Brits (even though Rach was with us), trying to survive one more temple, or one more Egyptian trying to get an unrealistic amount of money off us just for a 5 min ride on a boat...

When we got back to Aswan we were exhausted! We walked on Sharia El Souk to get some food and most of the shops were closed. What we found, though, were piles of cows' skins, as they slaughtered the animals that morning. It looked and smelt like blood everywhere.
