This morning was the trip to the Valley of the Kings but first we had our 
donkey ride. It was quite obvious that there were not enough donkeys as soon as we got there and in Egypt there is no organisation or step b, step instructions but rather get on a donkey and go. I was trying to stick with Glen but it didn’t work and me and Craig ended up with no donkey and the rest of the group were off down the road. Anyway Craig and I ended up getting donkeys and our guide left in the bus. We were lead by two boys all of about 11 yrs old that turned into disgusting little perves that kept trying to touch me inappropriately and I had to yell at them as well as hit them a few times yet this did not se! 5mins in to the ride Craig and I got off our donkeys told the kids where to go and started walking along a dessert road by ourselves…..the place to be! Luckily another tour bus came by and gave us a lift to the Valley of the Kings where we told our tour guide what happened and also found out that some of the other girls had also had the same problem. Needless to say the tour guides spoke to the owner of the Donkeys.
After all this we went to explore the Valley of the Kings. It was mega hot buy now but we went
into three tombs. They were pretty amazing because the artwork inside is still all coloured where as most of the temples have lost their colour as they are exposed to the elements. Inside the tombs there was no air movement and it was like a sauna it was actually really nice to come out into the air despite it being about 50 degrees.
Tutankhamen’s tomb was there but to go into it you had to pay extra and our guide didn’t 
recommend it because apparently it’s not that impressive and very small. The tombs we did see were Ramses the 5th. Tutmoses 3rd and Merneptah they were all really gr8 to see.
After Valley of the Kings we went to the funeral temple of Queen Hatshepsut which was cool. Then the temple of Karnack and by this time we all wanted a swim.
That night we had to get the train back to Cairo and I was determined to get a 6 seater this time. I stood on the edge of the platform with my massive pack on for 20mins just to get it too. We shared with some of the girls we were on the felucca with and we slept much better than we had last time.
