Well my guests had a very unusual experience to get to Gebel Silsila. First of all, the day before we were suppose to go to Silila i asked the driver if he knew how to get there. The driver is a very gentle, soft hearted man and when he looked at me with eyes of an innocent child while he answered me in his double dutch English "I don't know". I bursted out of laughter, it was so funny, first of all the way he said it and second the way he looked at me. On the other hand and in the same time it crossed my mind "how on earth are we going to get there? So I do trust my spirits and thought....well, we are going to be allright tomorrow morning, I always am in Egypt.
When we got out of our hotel I bumped into Hofny (brother of my agent). He is really a nice and gently young lad. He has the same handicap as the driver, they both don't speak English. As far as I understood, my agent had sent him on the train to Aswan at 4 am, to be with us and to guide us to Silsila.
So that morning our driver got lost, bless him and so we ended up hiring two local fishermen and their boats to row us across the river to the tombs. We had to take this small metal boats, as their felucca, which they usually take to bring people across, was out of order. It was a real laugh and we all enjoyed the experience immensly. This area of the Nile is the narrowist point, and was once considerd to be the place where the soul of the nile resided.
We enjoyed a quiet meditation inside the tombs it was a very happy spiritual experience, and if you look closely you can see spiritual orbs in the room around Hans.
Usually when I do visit this particular temple, there is always something unexpected going to happen. Thanks to the spirits and the nice guardians overthere, we had a great day!
