... that! We got dragged around various tourist shops and looked at handmade carpet, perfume and paintings - we only got sucked into paying way too much for perfume and paintings! We were due to board our train at 8pm and we thought we had booked a sleeper cabin but somehow our ticket was only for a seat on the train. With no sleep the night before, we decided to just buy a sleeper cabin and waste the tickets for the seats, at that stage we had been in the sun all day and ...

... new British friend Will. Lindsey finally got to try the stuffed pigeon she had been eyeing since we'd arrived in Egypt. After dinner we all met up for a roof birthday party. <br><br>We had a lot of leftover alcohol from our felucca cruise, and Lindsey and Sarah had wanted to put it into the refridgerator at the hostel. We did not want to offend our hotel, so we poured it into water bottles and asked the front desk to refrigerate them. When we met up later, Lindsey and Sarah went to ...

... optional extra tours organized and a local was pulling over random cars-for I don't know what. Back to the airport, we had a local flight from Cairo to Luxor at 6.20am. Got to meet a few of the tour people, the youngest is 11yrs old, the oldest looks about 103. So a wide age range and not very many of us, 18 to be exact. A few more Aussies on the tour besides us, some Americans ..and thats about it. We waited patiently at the airport to the universal sounds of Kenny G and saw the ...

... having lived in Cameroon for the last year, had only recently heard about Sarah Palin, who she told me she could kind of relate to... Ugg. She started moaning about the president's champagne budget, dropping the same tired arguments about the many ways in which the government wastes her tax dollars... I really can't stand such arguments. Such things are drops in the bucket. They are necessary evils. Yes, I don't like hearing the actual dollar figure of what is ...

... difficult to find genuine egyptians who see u as more than just a walking dollar sign, but there are some. Our taxi driver today was very nice and we used him 3 times today, many of the GAP partnerships are nice, partly because of the business they give them, and servers in restaurants are generally good and friendly. But the bad egyptians are so in-your-face they tend to overshadow the good ones. In Aswan, a tourist police *there to help you* insisted I needed help ...

... me and I am flat on my back - not my proudest moment! After getting back on for another 5 minutes and almost falling off again, my lovely tour leader called a shuttle to come pick me. The funniest part of all was that on the way to meet the group, the donkey owner hitched a ride in the shuttle - even he doesn't ride donkeys, he is just laughing all the way to the bank! After picking up by bruised ego and my back, I met the group ...

... the temples changed over the dynasties. Getting into Tutankhamun's tomb was an extra cost, and considering everything has been moved to the Egyptian Museum there wasn't really much to see, except his mummy. Even this is mostly covered over by a sheet and only his head and feet are visible. It's very creepy though and I'm glad I went in to see it. We head out into the Western Desert tomorrow.

... red showing from the inside. He explained that once the artists and workers were done painting the figures of the temple they had to clean up the construction site. This meant sweeping all of the different colored rocks used to paint the walls away from the temple. This was one of those red pebbles that had accumulated a bunch of stone around it over the 3500 years its been sitting outside the temple. He then gave it to Katie to take home. Very cool.<br><br> After the Temple ...
