This isn't really a negation but a limitation or restriction, since ne...que means "only".
You place ne in front of the verb. Then you place que in front of the noun and modifier that is being restricted.
(In this case the restricted modifier and noun is deux jours.)

Ne ... que = only. In this case the que is acting as if the pas, just as you get with ne ... rien/jamais/aucun etc. Ne ... pas que is "not only". HTH :)
