Another perfect day , just had a nice breakfast on the Nile cruised for about an in the dirty river , of the boat sank and you survived , you die of poisoning from the water . Now going back pyramids .
Just went past a butcher shop , next door was all his sheep & goats
he slaughters them there ,( next door) & takes the meat into the shop to sell , fresh eh .
The traffic hear is absolute made, one had to see it to believe it .
Just to a pyramid that is different , being renovated lot of hagglers , turned down a camel ride . We are at place where they hand weave carpets , silk $4000 wool 2000 , not very big , very expensive .
This place stops at the green, like a line in the sand then desert for, thousands of. Km 110 deg outside , movie of a worker pushing a barrow of cement in the sand 600 yards . That's hard .
We are down now walking around the big 3 pyramids , the hagglers are getting real thick , taking the shine off the experience , these things are very big 500 ft high , they look out over cairo
just did the sphinx , we're walking through it under neath ,
I came very close to smacking one of the hagglers in the mouth , I even said to him I don't care if it's gold. f*** off , he said I was a bad man , 2 min earlier he said I was a good man ,can't make up his mind, they are the only problem in these very nice natured people , I really like them as people , one feels very safe hear , they are not thieves ,
Lunch now at another hotel then drive back to the boat
Just getting out of Cairo in time , shooting started , just joking. There is a massive dust storm coming through , can't see 100 mtr in front wind looks like30 knts , if this had happened earlier we would have seen a lot less , and. Very uncomfortable , very lucky .
We still have the armed guards with us , they have been wander around us every where , ready to shoot .
