Oh ıt ıs always fun to come to a bıg cıty lıke thıs. Crazy traffıc that I would put up there wıth Saıgon, but wıth cars not mopeds!
The pyramids, well, are incredible to see! Wow! Pictures can say it all.
Joanna got to go into The Great Pyramid, Khufu, standing 146.5 m tall, and completed in 2600 B.C. I went into Khafre, which appears bigger, but is only on higher ground, and still has some of the original limestone on top of it.
Then there is Menkaure at 62 m. Very cool to see was the boat of Cheops. Amazing construction as the hull was only held together with ropes, no nails in it at all!
