50th Birthday in t'Egypt

What a great day.
Not only have a got a job today but my family have just come home and told me that during my birthday week I'll be visiting the Pyramids

This has been a life long dream and has been planned for nearly a year.
Apparently dozens of people have kept it from me including my band members.
Woooohooo.

My mum, aunty and grandparents are off to the pyramids in May, i'm really jealous.

I'd love to go.

Parents have been to Egypt twice and love it (Red Sea side though). I'm going in July think, again on the Red Sea though.

Enjoy it mate

1 hour to go and them I'm off.
I've been waiting for this moment ever since I was a young lad because I was always surrounded by books on Egyptology but I was always too scared to go there.
I had an awesome night on friday.
I turned up for my gig and my lady and band had arranged for around 250 people to be there.
The pub was surrounded in pictures, loads of food but I did feel sorry for around 20 people who were there but don't like our music.
I was totally out of my head by the end and did the last 2 songs while lying on my back.
See you in a week.

What's the itinerary for the trip?

I had an amazing time there, however it would have been about twice as good if it weren't for the locals and the pretty poor ameneties/service (even in our really pricey and shiny hotel).

Is it just a Cairo trip? Going to Valley of the Kings/Queens? There are tonnes of temples further down south that are completely astonishing.

My kids bought me a brand new Sony DSC-W170 yesterday and to say I'm impressed is an understatement.
The wide angle is that good that I should be able to stand 10 foot back from the Pyramids and get them all in.

Im sure you said the other week you were going for your 50th :confused:

Doonhamer · 25 May 2008 at 10:12

Once your actually ten foot in front of the Pyramid you wont believe how big it is. You see it on television but it really dosnt do it justice.

Quite cool you can go inside the pyramid even if there isnt much to see after the climb up inside it. Which isnt a piece of cake either.

Went 2 years ago for our silver wedding anniversary, always wanted to see the Pyramids, wasn't disappointed. The only downside is people trying to drag you into their shops all the time, gets right on your nerves after a while. Have a great time and shows us your pics when you get back

This is one of my dreams, I'd love to go. Take plenty of nice photos!!

And have fun
