In Cairo

Hello everyone

Michael and I are fine. We arrived in late last night. Everything went well. Our driver from the hotel picked us up at 2:30 am from the airport and our room was upgraded to a suite for free. Today we went on a LONG camel ride to see the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. At first it was a bit strange although by the end, we were riding like pros, one handed, down hills, and at a quick pace I tell you!

We booked our tickets to travel to Aswan tomorrow evening, found a place to store our luggage during the day, walked around cairo for a while and are back at our hotel about to have dinner. Our hotel is nice. It is located in Zamalek, an island surrounded by the nile. Everthing is great although the pollution in the air can be a bit overwhelming at times.

Our stopover in Amsterdam was quite an experience I tell you!!!!
Mike now understands what "Red Light District" means!! We walked around the city for a few hours, had a coffee at a "Coffee Shop," consumed a couple Heineken pints, and headed back to the airport.

Cheers,
Sarah & Mike
