Hi everyone, having a fantastic time so far. Won't be able to write too much, the internet is slow and expensive. In the Red Sea coastal town of Hurghada today in a fancy resort hotel. So far I've driven among the insane traffic of Cairo (seriously there doesn't seem to be any road rules, everyone does whatever...as long as you have a working horn you can drive!), seen the Pyramids and Sphinx of Giza, been inside a pyramid, headed waaaay out into the Western desert, passed through several oases (not as green and exciting as I had imagined), slept under the stars in the middle of nowhere in the Black Desert and the White Desert, slept on a rooftop in El Kasr, walked through a really old mud brick village in El Kasr, drank beer and smoked apple shisha, seen lots and lots of nothing in the desert, visited Luxor and seen the Temples of Karnak and Luxor, braved the crazy hassling of an Eyptian marketplace, driven for hours and hours in a police convoy, partied at a night club in Hurghada, and sat on the beach at the Red Sea. And I've only been on tour for 6 days!!!!

Having an amazing time, will try and write more and hopefully put some pictures up at some point, see how we go. Hope everything is going well with everyone at the moment, let me know any updates please...shoot me an email or write a message here either is good. Okay, loads to do and see, heading out for dinner shortly. Going snorkelling tomorrow and then back to Luxor to see the Valley of the Kings on Sunday and then down to Aswan. Talk soon, wish I could say I missed you all but I'm having waaay too much fun!! (just jokes I miss you all a little lol)

Love, Sarah
