. . . included an unusual collection of activities. A trip to the Valley of the Kings with some British tourists. We had hoped to accompany the famous “Mut Lady” on a research expedition to the tomb of Thutmoses III but her schedule of classes and end-of-term exams caused her to cancel. So, the rest of us visited the interpretation site and some of the famous decorated tombs.
By mid-afternoon a short-cut through the fields to the ferry resulted in chance encounter with a mysterious native woman with gold hair carrying a magical wand.
Her manner was mysterious and she predicted that early the next day many large coloured balls would fall from the sky! . . . .
A small boat was hired for the river crossing – landing near the refurbished and lengthened “SUDAN” – a restored paddlewheeler. In this boat the President of France, Sarkozy, and Carla stayed on during their last visit to Luxor.
