~*~The Miracle of Egypt~*~
~*~Chapter One Introduction: Arrival at Aswan~*~
Walking into the entrance-hall of the Old Cataract Hotel, Matthew walked straight towards the reception desk. "Hi, I'm dr. Matthew Hawthorn," he said to the woman behind the desk. The woman nodded and turned around to collect the room key. She grasped one key of the panel and gave it to the man in front of her. "Room 46," she simply said and gave Matt the key.
The woman clapped in her hands and two little boys ran to her. She whispered something to them and they nodded. They turned around and walked towards Matt and pointed at his bags. Matthew nodded and the two boys grabbed his bags. "Follow us." One of the boys said to him.
When they reached the room, Matt opened the door to let the boys into the room. They sat the bags in the room and walked out of the room.
Matthew looked around in his room. It was as if he had walked into a painting. This was beautiful, he walked towards one of his windows and opened it. The view was breathtaking, he saw the Nile and Elephantine Island in the middle of it. He could see a big building, the Aswan Museum.
After a couple of minutes, he closed the window and walked towards the bed. He lay down and tried to get some sleep. The next day he had to get up early and he wanted to get some sleep before he would fall asleep at the excavation site.
Matt woke up because of some loud noises outside. He looked at the clock in his room and saw that he had slept for six hours. He got up out of bed, walked to the same window, and opened it. He heard people shouting. Maybe there is a fight. He stuck his head out of the window and looked at the direction in which the sound came from.
He saw some people standing in front of what seemed to be a souvenirs shop. They where arguing about something. He tried to listen to what they were saying. He had to smile. The sales man tried to sell them a little statue, but the tourists said that is was too expensive. Suddenly it became quiet and the sales man and the male tourist shook each other's hand.
"Typically Egypt," Matt mumbled and closed his window. He strolled into the bathroom to take a shower.
