Getting some pics from Egypt out so you can catch up to the trip from about 2 months ago. Hard to believe I was even here a couple of months ago. Seems worlds away and like a different life I lived before.
Nonetheless, all great stuff. Makes me smile every time i riffle through my pics. Will try to get through Egypt and then on to Africa!
So it is Wednesday the 20th of May a bright sunny day in Edinburgh (rare I know) and we are on our way to the airport. Got a lift from Stuart at work (thanks pal), bags checked all the way through to Cairo and we are on our way. After a brief stop-over in Heathrow we arrive in Cairo at 12:40am on the 21st. Being a bit weary after our long transit stage we are hit with something unexpected even before we arrive to immigration......Swine flu testing! Well we past and it was straight to the bank...

27/01 - We are off to Egypt today, yay!! We had a short stop in Amman, Jordan then arrived in Cairo at about 9:30pm. Our night went downhill pretty fast when we realised that John had left his backpack in the taxi which had in it all of our travel docs, postcards & souvenirs & the WEDDING BANDS along with the receipts & certificates that go with them! Luckily the hotel staff were very, very helpful & organised a cab for John to go back to the airport to try & find the driv...

As part of our compensation packet from Hamis Travel Services, we had received a discount on a hotel and had chosen Pharaoh's Hotel, a 3 -star hotel, because of their brochure. Somehow I have never gotten the hang of advertising and was surprised to find that our room did not have a lovely balcony and that the hotel was inconveniently located far from the Egyptian Museum and the metro. However, it would do. I had decided we should see the Agricultural Museum. According to the guidebook, it is...

... of my Egyptian friends tell me they come from Birmingham anyway. Even the store keeper on the cruise boat is now part of my family or am I part of his I really lost count.
We were sad to come home and leave the country behind and I am determined to return if not for the whole experience then certainly for a holiday back in El Gouna.
Now for the mountain of washing and sorting out the photo's

I also met with the program directors on Wednesday, who told me that they were going to try to contact the Cairo Rugby team to see if I can get in touch with them. How awesome is that? I don’t know if I’ll be playing because ...

Then we took a trip to the markets in Cairo. The market was packed and crazy with stands selling all sorts of things. We bought tshirts and hookahs. As the market got more crowded it started to get less fun. Sarah almost got run over by a cart. Lindsey was repeatedly groped by a creepy little man we've since named "Gropey." Even after Tom yelled at him he continued to follow us, even after we got into a taxi. We were glad Tom was there.

As we touched down in Cairo, I definitely got the same feeling as in Morocco - "you're not in Kansas anymore." The first thing that struck me was just how terrified this country is of swine flu. I was expecting increased precautions, considering they slaughtered every pig (some 350,000) in their country in a misinformed attempt to stop the virus from entering their borders, but we were met by a slew of people that ...
