What can one say about a day like today? One that started with my setting foot on my 7th and last continent, Africa? That being followed by sitting on a camel in front of the great pyramids of Giza, 'kissing' the Sphinx, having lunch on the Nile and experiencing/surviving the traffic of Cairo...
Any suggestion? I truly am speechless and in awe of my day. So, so many incredible experiences in a one day tour.
The armed guard sat in the front of our bus the whole time and definitely made me feel so safe! He was very sweet to me and hung around me and I was so happy to have a man with a lot of guns in that setting! He only spoke Arabic, a slight problem but we smiled a lot and he took some great pics of me in these famous places. I was scared a lot, it was not a comfortable place for me to be but I am safely back on board the ship and met new friends and loved the day.
Traffic in Cairo is just like you see on tv and in the movies. Our outstanding guide told us you only need 3 things to drive in Egypt...a good horn, good brakes and good luck! That was an experience I would not care to ever repeat in my lifetime!
And now, surviving the incredible day in North Africa, I am off to bed for sweet, sweet dreams of ancient Egypt! Or maybe of the man with the guns next to me!
