It was time to say goodbye to Cairo today and head for Sharm el Sheikh and 18 nights of relaxing in a resort, after basically, five months of mostly camping in Africa. Tim and I both wore our Hawaiian shirts and I wore Jazz had and Tim wore the hat I got him in Ethiopia. We had a bit of lunch at the airport and then boarded the plane. Fiona took a picture of me and Tim, finally on a plane together and not just Tim seeing me off at the airport. The picture, if th...

We left the desert at around 7:30am and drove at full speed back to Bahariya, where we had a quick stop at the hotel, before getting on the bus back to Cairo. A bus we only made by 5 minutes. It was a very noisy ride back, the guy sitting next to me would not stop shouting the entire way and even Disturbed and Korn couldn't block him out. We got back into Cairo around 3pm and I couldn't be arsed fighting with the taxi drivers, so we took the Metro back, which as...

Early start as we headed out to the desert. We got on the bus at the downtown bus station, which was nowhere near as nice, as the coach I had gone out in before.

It was funny to see the movie, which was originally filmed in Chinese, dubbed in Engl...

We had our private driver today to take us to all the pyramid sights, we met him at 9am, his name was Ashlaf. We drove straight out to Giza and we stopped to take pictures on a bridge overlooking the island in the middle of the Nile. I poked Tim and said, "Guess what? You're going to the Pyramids today!" We arrived at Giza and went to pay to go in, we were of course, immediately set on by souvenir hawkers and camel drivers. We visited the Sphinx first,...

5am start today, I was so excited to being seeing Tim and Fiona. I had to wake the driver up at the hotel, because it was an early flight. It wasn't too bad getting to the airport as there was no traffic in downtown, because it was so early. The driver parked the car at the airport and I got out to go get Tim and Fiona. They had already come through customs and I found them pretty easily. I ran straight at Tim and he lifted me off the ground and hugged me. It was...
