We had plenty of space on the train; big seats and air conditioning. I was\r\nwoken often by jolting starts and slamming doors, but all in all it wasn't too\r\nbad.
\r\nCarrying all of our stuff, we stumbled out of the station and onto a minibus\r\nin Giza. Dave left us in the hands of a new guide, who was distinctly more\r\ninterested in getting us to the pyramids than letting us eat or use the loo.\r\nWe comprimised with pastries and juice from a fuel station shop and recovered\r\nenough to be on our way.
\r\nWe wandered around the pyramids, and then the Sphinx. Underwhelming, all\r\nthings considered, and the Valley of the Kings is far more impressive. Also,\r\ndefinitely aliens.
\r\nMost people did the cheesy holding-the-pyramids photo thing. I took pictures\r\nfrom the wrong angles of people posing these. This is far more entertaining.
\r\nWe had streetside falafel for lunch before visiting the enormous Egyptian\r\nMuseum. There's
\r\nsome cool stuff in here, again with the giant walls of heiroglyphics, and I\r\nlost everyone
\r\nelse for a while.
We were dropped at the Havannah Hotel. We thought there must be some mistake.\r\nThis place was SHINY. Huge rooms, clean, functioning bathroom facilities...\r\n(for about £10pppn) A classy end to the trip. I passed out for a couple of\r\nhours before we all met downstairs again at 6. The place Dave wanted to take\r\nus for dinner was absolutely packed, but we were directed to another\r\nrestaurant a few doors down who promised to serve us food from the first\r\nplace. Interesting business technique, but it did the job. I had the\r\nvegetarian version of f.... I can't remember what it was called but it\r\ndefinitely began with f. Might have been fattah. Someone help me out please,\r\nthe Internet isn't doing yet. It was an extremely filling rice yogurty dish\r\nwith fried flat bread and peas in it. Suuuper tasty, and almost equal to\r\nkushari. The non-vegetarian versions had liberal amounts of shredded beef or\r\nchicken on top.
\r\nAfter hanging out at the hotel for a bit, thus concluded the final night in\r\nEgypt.
