Dream came true in Egypt

Egypt is the stop that everyone on the cruise came for. We docked at Alexandria and took a bus into Cairo to see the famous Pyramids and Great Sphinx of Giza. It has always been my dream to see these wonders of the world.


The the number "3" has such a big significance?

The bus ride was about 3.5 hours. The tour guide was excellent and was very attentive to us tourists needs. There were over 40 tour busses that were filled with passenger from the Solstice....and the local sees $$$$$$!!! I have not been to too many 3rd world country, but this was sure an experience. All the hagglers were waiting for us at the tour stops. They was a dollar for everything, from selling postcards to having their pictures taken. Some scam-artists would trick folks to get on a camel for $5 then charge over $100 to get down (once you got up).

Nonetheless, the wonders were what people came to see. The Pyrimids were spectacular to behold. The Great Sphinx of Giza was as small as what people say. But nonetheless, at least I can say that I have seen one of the greatest wonders of the world.


Guess what is on the opposite side of the Sphinx...Pizza Hut!

This bugger is pretty small
