West Bank

One of the hottest days handled on the holiday. Even at this time of the year I thought I was going to implode at Hatshepsut’s temple! The temple was, however, a treat as the top level was open for the first time since I have been visiting.  We were now travelling everywhere by coach, instead of four-wheel drive.
