Well we have spent the last amazing week in Egypt thinking that given Nairobi is about as high up in Africa we are heading it was an opportunity too good to pass up to take a quick detour to Egypt and Dave has a bit of a thing for Egypt having watched every Indiana Jones movie at least a hundred times.
The first couple of days we have spent in Cairo doing all of the tourist things you should do whilst in Egypt - visiting the pyramids of Giza and the sphinx, riding a camel and seeing the nightly sound and light show at the pyramids -the script was corny beyond belief but an amazing sight seeing the pyramids lit up at night along with about a million other tourists.
The sheer magnitude of the pyramids is something special - apparently I was suppose to appreciate the magnitude of the logistics behind the engineering task - or so Dave reckons anyway - I was happy just to take in the view on top of my camel Mickey.
Cairo is an absolutely crazy city - 28 million people living in what is a constant traffic jam around the Nile River and the pyramids of Giza. I am missing the relative tranquility of Africa already.
