Bec is sick. We've missed our flight. I don't know what we're going to do. I am currently waiting in the first aid room while Bec is getting a drip in her arm. She has gotten her period a week and a half early. There are no later flights to Athens today we are going to have to stay another night in Cairo and fly out tomorrow. The hotel we were in last night is too far away. We can't go back there. No one speaks any English I don't know how to organize a new fli...

We got a lazy day today. Our flight is just after lunch so we have have the morning to ourselves. Plenty of time for another swim and lazy by the pool. We had to leave the hotel at ten thirty, four hours before our flight to Greece. Turned out to be a good thing cause we arrived just in time for check in. Cairo international airport is not very well laid out to accommodate so many people. There were so many crushes of people especially at security and check in. ...

We've seen so much today. We got picked up from the hotel and met Abby, our tour guide for the day. It just going to be me and Bec on the tour which is a little disappointing but it's better than a large group. We got a good picture of the pyramids as we drove past but as they are the youngest of the sites we are seeing today we are doing them last. First we drove out to Memphis. Amazingly it was really empty. Very few tourists. I asked Abby and she said that b...

So this is Cairo. We arrived round lunch time here and whoa! What a difference. We could see getting off the plane for one thing. For another we were bused from the plane to the terminal which was great after almost 24 hours straight of constantly filtered air. Dubai was not nice in that regard. We were met at the gate by Mahamaud who is our tour group leader for Egypt. We'll be meeting our guide and the rest of the group tomorrow. We drove from the east of the...
