  • How many camels is your daughter worth? First of all, apologies for my form at Alexandria. The beer tasting really knocked me around and Louisa reckons that Sakara King got me sloshed in no time.

  • The PyramidsHad another couple of massive days. Yesterday started at the Cairo Museum, which houses 100's of 1000's of artifacts spread over 4 floors, not including the basements that hold many 1000's of items that can't fit in the museum proper.
