A breather for now.

Well I have to take a break as I have to book my Christmas trip, the bus tickets anyway, that rest is already booked except for the hotel but we don't have to pay for that until we arrive.

Talk again soon.

There you go people the Pyramids. Trust me they are Huge, and like the rest of the tourist stops, full of hawkers. These ones are just better at screwing you out of money then the rest.

Do you know how many pyramids there are? If you guessed 3 you would be wrong. There are 9, the three you know about, 3 small ones to the side and 3 that were built for the kings mother, sisters and daughters.







Yes that is me the wee speck, and I'm only about 4 layers up!!! That is below the doorway you can see in the first picture. A bit scary really the size of them.

And to think it took 20 years to build the pyramids and that is working only in the flood season which was 4 months a year. This was because they used the flood waters to transport the stone blocks more then 300kms!! It is quite a feat really.







Geez Mark it's not ALL about you.

Wow I think those are the only clouds we saw the entire time we were in Egypt!













And that is me and Ange...though I'm sure you guessed that.

















I don't know about you guys but I was really surprised at how close the city is to the Pyramids, I don't know why but I thought they were away from the city.

But the city goes right up to the foot of the hill the Pyramids sit on. Crazy and very awe inspiring.

My Time in Egypt

Well guys are it is the long awaited pictures of Egypt, so hold on to your seats it is going to be a bumpy ride!!

My time in Egypt

Here is the view from our veranda in the first hotel we stayed in, this is the Cataract in Cairo.

We arrived 18th October and stayed here until the 21st and again we were back on the 28th till early (3:30am) on the 30th.















Not what you imagine when you think of Egypt but exactly what you would think of for a 5 star hotel. Though I will admit the tap on the bath did fall off the wall which was a bit unnerving considering I was in the shower at the time!!













Well this is the view from the roof of the reception building not too bad if I do say so myself, and I do. By the way if you hadn't guessed those are the pyramids in the background

And yes Dad this is where we called you from.









Ah it's a hard life, nothing to do but hang out at the pool for 3 or 4 days!

We had to put up with a lot of stress while we were in Cairo.







This is the pool area this was taken just after brekkie, and what a brekkie it was.

I will never look at a danish pastry the same EVER again, and same goes for pita bread it seems pita is the main food for the Egyptians and danishes for the tourists. Though it may just be that anything else doesn't last anywhere as long.

Yes, yes, yes I'm getting there.

Hey

Just to let you know that yes I am getting there and I WILL be putting my pictures on from Egypt...tomorrow. Sorry I can't do it today I actually have a life for a change lol. I'm meeting Claire and we are going to go SHOPPING hip,hip.

Hey Guys

Hi All

Sorry I have not gotten my pictures online yet, I plan to do that this weekend. Thought I would let you know I made it home in one piece and I didn't marry any of the three guys that asked me to marry them.

Will get back to you soon

Love and hugs
