yesterday we went to the pyramids and it wasnt what we expected we were not allowed to climb the pyramids and the sphinxe was all out of bounds so we couldnt go in it however the great pyramid was quite impressive, it was 60 egytian pounds to get in and the way to get to the middle was difficult for dad as we had to crouch down to get there, the air was thick with dust and we had to walk on a 45 degree ramp so it was quite hard. dad didnt really enjoy the pyramids as the hastlers were really anoying because not much tourists were there to bother so we got all the hastle that should of been spread over 100s of people! today we're going to luxor on a sleeper train and ... read more

dahab day 1 yesterday me and dad went snorcling in the red sea and t was great we saw fish of all kinds and cool coral that was every where and lots of sea enenimies that waved about i n the sea. we mainly went snorcling near the light house however joseph and amy recomended eel gardens which was also quite cool but dangerous as to get to the coral in deep water you must swim around 500metres through 1 metre high water that had posinous sea urchents and black sea slugs so we couldn't stand up much or we might get posened. when we went snorcling the sun cream got washed off so the sun burnt our backs. dahab day 2 today was my favourite yet, we stayed in bed until 12 oclock and then ... read more

yesterday me and dad went to amman on a plane, first we flew to cairo and then on to amman (i decided not to write a blog that day as all we did was travel). today me and dad went to the dead sea and it was amazing, plus we met this really nice man called lev that came from north america, lived in egypt and had a russian name! lev traveled with us to the dead sea and came with us to the different locations in a cab that we had hired with a driver for the day (the drivers name was mahamid and was also quite nice) and we shared the cost. at the dead sea we went into salty water and floated really well infact you didn't even have to kick you just ... read more

me and dad took a plane over to istanbul and played far cry on the way whilst snacking on crisps and chocolate ( i got the lions share = ) when we landed, dad and me walked to the bus stop and waited for ages until it got ready to go. when we got to the city we had a look around for the tram station (which we found eventually), instead of taking the tram we decided to get these amazing, spectaculas and wounderful fish sandwhiches that i loved and walked.after an hour or so we found a hostel (yay). then we went to a giant market called the bazzar and it was a complete let down said dad it was just like an ordinary shopping mall! so after the giant let down dad decided to ... read more
