The Giza Pyramids were awesome as always, although this morning I spent most of my time looking for the stupid ticket office to the Great Pyramid which I never found! I went into the Mastaba of the Kings doctor, that was great, except the guard at the door insisted on showing me around and then insisted on baksheesh.
I also saw the Sphinx again and walked around the Great Pyramid about 3 times. I was there early so I didn't get pestered too much to buy souvenirs or to have a camel/horse/donkey/whatever ride.
I finally got to go in the Khufu boat museum. The boat museum is this giant construction next to the Great Pyramid that houses the Funerary Boat of the King. It was amazing to see how intact it is and indeed how big it is! I had to put these funny slippers on over my shoes to keep the germs out of the place.
I left feeling a little disappointed about not getting to go into the Great Pyramid, but who can really be disappointed at Giza.
