as good as it gets
Karnak was impressive. Most good things in the valleys though, either remain as mental images, or there is always the internet. Although walking along the Nile was not half as exciting as imagined, and way too many minutes were spent on the phone, there were also things like the red tent of mourning, Bob Marley, the most happening street corner and the street food, Egyptian stuffed pigeon....
and the world in Arabic.
