Today (Wednesday) was an incredible day - Pyramids, Camels, Sphinx and Felucca. You can see from the pictures that its breathtaking. Definitely desert-like. Hot, dry, dusty. Perfect for a camel. I am riding Mickey Mouse in this picture. I didnt go inside the big pyramid because I was told the air quality was worse than the streets - and I can barely take the streets here. Surely, I now have some CO (Carbon Monoxide) overload to add to the host of other things! The sphinx reminded me of Mayzie. We enjoyed fresh squeezed mango juice at a cafe overlooking pyramids and Sphinx and then had to pay 2 Egyptian pounds to use the loo. Then the taxi took us to the Felucca (100 year old sailboats on the Nile that seat 15 for a 1 hr ride) and while we could have walked the distance faster, we rode in the taxi, me in the front seat, holding my non-functional seatbelt across my lap, just to appease police if they stopped us. Back at the hotel now, I am trying to detox a massive traffic headache and refuel and water. I dont know how camels do it. Tomorrow is Japan at noon. Oh, perhaps I should tell you all about last night - before you see it on YouTube...someone threatened to post as MANY people were videoing it. I wore my new Egyptian dress and sang Karaoke to Hotel California and Happy Birthday to Shelley Kitchen, New Zealand #1. When I was asked, I said I was "Natalie Grainger" - USA #1. The place went nuts. So, let me upload a few pics here and stay tuned for tomorrow's news...
