Days 120-134: temple overload, Egypt

There's almost a limitless supply of stunning temples and monuments in Egypt.  While the pyramids hog most of the fame of glory, there's plenty more to marvel at- the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut (the place where 60-odd tourists were machine gunned and macheted to death by Islamic nutjobs in 1997, but don't worry there's a couple of security guards now), temples at Karnak, Kom Ombo and Edfu.

Each one is a masterpiece of statues, hieroglyphs, archways and obelisks.
