After a rather sleepless night in zurich due to the thousands of fire crackers going off in celebration of Swiss Day we arrived in Cairo. We had pre organised a transfer with our hotel - thank god - and had our first experience of driving in cairo, a real white knuckle experience as a passenger! But we arrived in one piece. Egypt was to be our "cheap" part of our trip and I had booked basic accommodation which I was a little dubious about, especially w...

Having to catch an early train from Paris we arrived in Interlaken around 2pm. With Sky Diving booked the following afternoon (for both of us now!) we realised we only had this afternoon and the following morning to do anything which meant we couldn't go up Jungfrau as that is a whole day Oh well!

We arrived admist a heap of construction going on around the station and huge crowds of people which left us a little disorientated but we eventually found the street we needed and ploughed through the people. The streets were packed! We thought Prague was busy but this was even mor...

Wow. We were booked in one of the apartments and it felt more like a hotel room which was a welcomed change from some of the places we had stayed in. Our first mission was to explore the museum section of Berlin and...
