Egypt------>London

Hey to all those breathlessly watching this space, we have finally reached civilisation which includes internet access!!!
But first, Egypt was awesome!!!! Though coming from Australia was a bit of a culture shock. Their traffic is insane. No rules, horns in use constantly, no lanes. I guess the one rule is stick to the right but they often don't do that either :) After four days we are amazing at crossing roads. Jump in front of a bus and we wont even blink. The hostel was super clean albeit very simple. We had to carry our seven suitcases up three flights of stairs to the amusements of the locals!!! Locals either hate us or are super friendly. I think we have been asked to get married every day, offered 500 camels and they LOVE Lissa's hair (she attracts lots of attention). When someone is nice to you here they usually want money for it. We are good at saying La Shukran which means No thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 First day we just got acquainted with the city. Walked to the museum but were very tired from flying and delays (landed in random airport in middle of desert to wait for fog to clear) We went to the Museum which was very cool and watched the sunset over the Nile, had KFC for dinner and went to bed. Sunday we spent in Coptic Cairo which was awesome seeing all the churches. It was so quiet compared to the rest of the city. I cant even explain  how different it is to home so you will have to wait for some photos. We walked the 8km back to our hostel though along the Nile which we were very proud of.
Monday we went on a all day tour to the Giza Pyramids, Saqqar, Sphinx etc and it was......incredible. To think that these were there during the Bible times is amazing! We took a million photos and seeing it was a hot day actually got a tan!! we went in the third pyramid (Mankeure's) which was very cool. Dark and Hot and bit scary seeing someone use to be buried there.
Sphinx was my favourite bit but surprise surprise it looks the same as in photos, comics and books haha.
Good thing we had a aircon van
Tuesday we went to the Markets which covered like a suburb so spent the morning getting lost in there. Bought our loved ones some souvenirs and then we headed to our flight....
Good flight to London but I arrived in thongs and so heading out into the snowing city wasn't the greatest. Expensive taxi ride later and we made it here to our hostel which is nice and warm.
And now its today. we are heading out for a basic London walking tour bout 12pm. Hope it stops snowing because IM COLD!!!!
