TOPDECK Monday 30th April - Cairo

Today began with a trip to Cairo Museum to have a look at the goodies from Tutankamens tomb and various other artifacts. This museum has over 150,000 items exhibited and you could easily spend a day in there if that sorta thing floats ya boat... Be warned though - no photos allowed. Our cameras were confiscated on the way in!!


After the musuem we were on the road again to one of the biggest highlights of Egypt - The Pyramids of Giza and The Sphinx!! I honestly thought they would be bigger but thats not to say that they weren't big or impressive. At the end of our tour we will be attending a sound and light show here. Should be fantastic!!

We returned to the hotel late afternoon and had a quick rest before grabbing some dinner at the local KFC. This KFC is the first KFC run by the hearing impaired. You point to what you want on the menu and the staff are so full of smiles its contagious. Tonight we are packing our gear and catching a train to Aswan - a mere 12 hours away...
