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.
