Pyramids,Sphynx & Camels


Great day - started at 9.00am where we were met by our guide who took us out to the Pyramids. They are so close by the city, its amazing. We had a great time at the pyramids, where a few of us decided to have a camel ride. My mum hopped on one and started talking friendly to him and he turned around, hissed and bared his teeth at her. After that she decided she wasn't so adventurous after all and gave the Camel ride a miss. One of the other ladies in our group Marianne actually fell off the camel close to the ground whilst trying to hop on, but had another go and ended up joining the rest of us in our Camel ride. I found the camel ride to be very relaxing and wouldn't mind doing it again. In the end there was six of us who had camel rides. After that it was off to see the Sphynx - also a great site. Took some great pics and then moved onto the Perfume factory and brought up big. Couldn't resist the essences- some of them can only be brought from Egypt so that's what we did.......then it was off to lunch at a local restaurant then off to the rug factory. Will have to check in tomorrow as the smoke is getting waaay to thick in this pokey internet cafe - everyone smokes in Egypt. ciao for now.
