This trip was a succession of adventures.......1st day : Departure at 5:00 am. When I arrived at the meeting point, there was a couple that was worried about what is going to happen, because the previous day they were supposed to go to Luxor, but as in Egypt the tourist buses must travel by convoy,…

Woke up to the alarm this time. Our plan for the day was to visit the Egyptian Museum and then head to the airport for our 4:00pm flight back to Europe. After breakfast, we began the short walk to the museum. In the process, we had to cross a few roads.Crossing roads in downtown Cairo should be con…

My brother has been living in Cairo for a year- he's on a study abroad for Arabic...perfect location for a stop on my big trip.  He has a big apartment in a good location in the city- and he has internet and one of those fancy phones where you can all the States for free.  Technology is c…

Dernier jour du voyage.  Et oui, c'est la fin.  Ok, techniquement, je passe le weekend à Paris, mais ça fait longtemps que je ne considère pas Paris comme faisant partie de mes voyages.  Et ça fait encore plus longtemps que je ne la visite plus... Bref, comme je disais, dernier …

I have spent the last 4 or 5 hours in an internet cafe in downtown Cairo uploading my pics from Bali and Cairo.  Finally! I think I have finally figured out Egyptian driving: Use your horn for everything: Excuse me, I am passing you Excuse me, I am passing you on the right Excuse me, I …

Visiting The Citadel was Jess's decision, when we set out to plan how to spend our last full day in Cairo.  Personally, I wanted more time for the two pyramids at Dashur, but Jess was convinced we should see the Citadel since in her mind Egypt was a once-in-a-lifetime trip, (I don't know how t…

Some pics of my vacation to Egypt. We stayed 1 week in a very nice all inclusive hotel near the beach in Sharm el Sheikh. We also visited Cairo. (1 day excursion, 6-8 hours busdrive!)

Driving on the overnight train from Luxor to Cairo they had turned the air con on. During the day this is clearly a necessity to keep people just semi comfortable on the train. But at night with the air con on the temperature drops – and the train is cold. So cold that I had to grab my sleepi…

[So, Egypt...yeah, it really hasn't sunk in yet that we went here...I'll try my best to give a concise recap, but a lot happened so here goes...] So after our relaxing stay in Santorini, we headed to that urban jungle known as Cairo.  I would say that our group was obviously more nervous (as …

Justo cuando nos teníamos que levantar para la tempranera excursión a las Pirámides aparecieron por la puerta Chema y Kalipo, quienes no habían pasado la noche en la habitación. La juerga y alcohol les había dejado en un estado más que lamentable que les mantenía tan aletargados como gracio…
