Up early to see the Ballons take off today fron another point of view. Partly cloudy so not a good view, but still an amazing site with the Valley of the Kings as a backdrop. We are leaving around 8:00 am. So time for a quick breakfast and meet up with Moustafa to say good bye and last minute instructions about the next leg of our journey. Moustafa has been a good tour guide, (with a sense of humor). Tipped him well!
The next leg of our journey will be done by private van for the trip to Hurghada and for security reasons we will have a police escort. The Egyptians value their tourism dollars. We will be one van in the convoy of 300 vehicles that are escorted for the three hour drive.
We have had very full days of touring more sites than what most Egyptians have seen (according to Kait) so the next three days in Hurghada will be pure relaxation at the best resort there.
