day 10 in the land where a gallon of gas costs 39 cents

freshmeat: there's a spring up my ass!






today we were being picked up by the company and taken to the places they listed on their tour but failed to tell our guide to take us to. then, to really piss us off, they come an hour earlier than they said they would.

::squinty eyes::



anyway...


our first stop is at the royal palace of el montazah...this is where the residency of the egyptian president is...along with some beautiful gardens. our guide waas very concerned that we got ALL the photos we needed. he would stop the van so we could get out, we would take the photos, hop back into the van, and van would go about 5 feet and the whole process would start all over again.

lucky, lucky us.


our next stop was the roman amphitheater. it was interesting...but almost impossible to get nice photos with tourists in all of them.


and finally, we started the drive back to cairo.

when we got back we were able to meet up with the british couple and have a few last drinks with them before they got on a plane to their next destination in their around-the-world trip (india). and we got to dump some of our unused items onto them (toilet paper, iodine, and the like).

it was definitely weird to think that we only had one more day left. and that we wouldn't see the british couple again. they definitely made our trip a lot of fun.

and i'll never think of speedos in the same way again.
