After a very early wake up call, the first of many, we had a good breakfast before heading via coach to the Pyramids. I was a little bit surprised that they are so close to the city of Cairo, I think it makes them lose their magic somehow. Anyhow, we saw them up close and then saw them from afar so that I could join the millions who want a photo of them 'touching' the tip of a pyramid!!
We then headed down to see the Sphinx. Again, it was very impressive but the crowds let us all feeling a bit cold.
Once we'd done the tourist bit and had lunch, we set off on the 4 hour transfer to Ras Sudr. The coach journey wasn't too bad, plenty of time to chat and get to know one another and also to experience the awful driving of the Egyptians!! Talk about scary!
Once checked into the hotel, it was time for more food and a few more cheeky alcoholic beverages.
The hard work starts tomorrow....................
