Well,

I have just had one of the best short breaks ever.

A 4 day weekend in Cairo, Egypt with two friends and a fantastic experience, memories I will never forget.

On the Friday we went on a Nile cruise, had dinner and I hada go at Belly Dancing and some local dancing (egged on by about 30 US Naval Personnel, who where on R&R). On Saturday we went to Sakkara to see the tomb of Ramsis II , Impoteh museum and the small Pyramids there and in the afternoon, took horses out into the desert an Giza to see the large pyramids and the Sphynx. In the evening we returned for the light and sound show, which was spectacular.

Saturday morning we went to the Citadel above Cairo and in the afternoon, the Cairo Museum, which was outstanding.

I have put some photos in the gallery and will leave them there for a few months, if anyone cares to look.

Buffy

That looks so cool Buffy, it sounds and looks like you had a great time! I'd love to go to Egypt one of these days!

It has always been a dream of mine to go and see the pyramids. Hope I make it there. I also wanted to go and see the World Trade Center, but made it there a year too late. Anyway, I am burning with jealousy. You look great in front of the pyramid.

Love always,
Elizabeth

Nice to be so close, Buffy.  I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Sounds wonderful, a four day getaway to Cairo though? It would take me two days to get there and two days to get back! :)

They have a "Mummy" room in the Cairo museum, they are sooooooooooooooo creepy. Imagine having your brains and internal organs sucked out and then your body filled with embalming fluid.

I would hate to be in that place at night..... creeeeeeepy
