Mount Up

We had an early wake-up call on this morning and we were on the Nile in a small boat by 7:30 am. I think that we were trying to beat the heat.  We crossed the Nile and then rented some camels.  We picked out a couple of one-humpers (the only kind they had) and headed out across the desert sands for the St Simeon monastery.  I was riding Leon and Vicky was riding Lulu. 

In the last photo, if you look just above me and slightly to the left, you can see the monastery in the distance.
