Final update before going to Egypt since they tell me that the internet availability will be far and few between...

Nat and I had a perfect day relaxing, everything just seemed to go right, got all the bits and pieces that we'd planned to get done, done quickly and easily and then we decided that some relaxation was in order so we got manicures and pedicures which had us feeling normal again!

Went back to the hotel to get ready to go out for a final goodbye with the group.

Well the quiet night didn't eventuate...

Went on the river cruise and had some dinner when a smart young man by the name of Adam, put forward the challenge that he could drink more than Nat and I, after calling us both soft in his farewell poem - which I will put on the site once he sends it to me!!!

Anyways, it was all down hill from there... by the time the cruise was over we'd had about 9 drinks each - judging by the tab we had running!!

We all headed back to the bar at our hotel bar and continued our farewells and drinking and by the end of the night we'd taken way too many dodgy drunk pics (which I'll put up for you all to see later!!) and then retired and called it a night after, well we aren't really sure how many drinks but we're guessing it was in excess of 19 or so....

The young Adam is claiming a victory for the night, but Nat and I aren't having any of it! We are sure that we were clear winners (hehe!!) and we are guessing that there will need to be a rematch at some stage before we will be able to declare a winner - hope you'll be ready for it young Adam!!!

Anyways, the following day Nat and I just pretty much lazed around the hotel and caught up on a few emails - nothing to serious and had some dinner at the hotel. Still didn't managed to make it to bed until about 2.30am I swear I don't know how I potter around for so long doing nothing!

Today I'm just doing some final washing and getting some boxes to send stuff home so that with a bit of luck my suitcase will be back to weighing something that will be acceptable for the tour and flight over there.

Nat and I are parting ways after just over 2 months together - it's going to be weird not having her around, but I guess we know that we will see each other when we get back so it shouldn't be too bad.

Taxi will be hear at 4pm and with a bit of luck we'll be ready!!!!

Egypt here I come!!!!
