yeek! you mean I gotta write about it too??? thought the pics would have summed it up enough.
Trippie goes - arrived, saw pyramids, temple, temple, temple, temple, quad bikes, went home

really not interested enough in history to have taken much notice of whose temples I was looking at, just remember it was bloomin hot all the time
