An early morning start, combined with a cleaned bike, inflated tyres and well rested rider led to some good pace. It felt as though I were cycling downhill (although i wasn't, as I am heading upstream). I arrived in Idfu at 11.30. 100 km's dusted. Thank you very much.

After some more frustrations with the Egyptian tourism industry I found a hotel.
