The day began with us putting our bags out for collection at 7:15 and heading down for one of if not the best breakfasts of the tour.I loved the chocolate fondue and strawberries.Then we went out to get on the bus and it turned out that we were given the green groups bus and driver whilst they were put onto a mini bus.It was funny to see them shoved off their bus.We had assumed that we were sharing but they were told to get off.As we drove to the airport it becam...

Our last day in Alexandria, and our last night in Egypt.We started the day by visiting the Citadel which was great then we went to the Museum which was a bit boring.I think we are over museums after all our time in Egypt.There were a few interesting pieces there though but we only needed half the allocated time to see the whole thing.Next was the long drive back to Cairo.We stopped just past the half way mark and there was a small shop that had a really good rang...

We started the day on the craziest little bus that had all these little dickey seats that folded out into the isle of the minibus.We must have looked really silly to all the people outside.It was ok though as we were only going down the road to the boat dock where we caught a motorboat over to the Nubian Village.When we arrived at the village we walked up the sand hills to our awaiting camels.We spent the next 15 min riding our camels across the sand, along the N...
