Hey! Remember me?
There have been a number of distractions in my part of the world in the last few weeks – some of which have now been sorted, while others are just starting to gain momentum …. It’d be really good not to have so much to think about for a little while!!
Anyway ….. Now that things have settled down to some extent I will get back to getting this happening properly.
So, Egypt …………………………………….
I think the best way to do this is just include lots of pics and few words - I did type up a proper entry but it ended up being a blow by blow description of the whole trip - boring boring boring even to me !! :-) So lots of pics below with a few brief descriptions ..... needless to say the whole experience was incredible.

We always make sure we sample the local Maccas wherever we go - the McArabee burger was really big and really really good !!!
More 'traveller safe' cuisine !
Back view from the hotel
Front view from the hotel - Look mum , no lane markings !
Downtown Cairo
Local butcher shop ????
Alabaster factory - one of several 'interest' stops - so that the tourists could be hassled into buying WAY too much
Good in any language ! But don't have it with ice !
Roses from the hotel maid - we tipped her $20 USD so she 'found' us these flowers ... no doubt in someone elses room ...... she also returned a little while later with a 2nd hand bottle of Russian brandy.
Step pyramid - Memphis
Giza
Khufu
Kafhre
Menkaura
Entrance to Menkaura
We went down inside this one - took a few days for the legs to recover though !
A Queen's pyramid - just a little less attention to detail
Sphinx .... naturally !

And GW still has the Brandy! BJ
Perhaps we should crack it open just before 27/11 ??? It's had a few moe years to age now :-)
The last thing the two of you need is more alcohol.
And THAT remark is the worst case of 'pot calling the kettle beige' I've heard in ages !!!!!
I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about! :-b
I would be talking about your mouth wrapped firmly around Jack for most of Saturday night !
Time for the land of zzzzzzz's here so we can continue to debate who has the bigger drinking problem in the AM ! Although I suspect with what I am now at work that it will end up being ME.
:-)
I'm sorry, I don't remember there being a man called Jack there on Saturday night. Clearly I don't remember as much as I thought... :-O
Heh heh.
Of course you remember Jack - Jack Daniels.
