Umanek - the lost pharaoh

This entry will be brief, mainly due to the fact that I am still shattered and recovering from 3 solid weeks of tour leading a group of 41 people from one end of Egypt to the other (see photo).

Amongst the many adventures that I will relate on this page, once I am somewhat returned to normal, are one of the more interesting massages I have experienced and my now extensive knowledge of anti-vomit/diarrhoea drugs and treatments. Aren't you envious?

The journey home consisted of 36 hours without sleep and it is only now, 4 days after my return, that the spaced out feeling and faint taste of toxins appear to have left my body. Plus, I had to endure room cleaning 'antics' that turned my bath towles into this...

Old stuff; wish me luck!

This time tomorrow I'll be in Auckland waiting for my flight to Brisbane, then waiting for my flight to Singapore, then waiting for my flight to Dubai and, finally, waiting for my flight to Cairo.

Around about 30 hours after leaving Wellington, NZ, I should (fingers crossed) find myself & my tour group in the swanky luxury of the Moevenpick Pyramids Hotel just a short skip & hop from ye olde pyramides of Giza. At which point I plan to head to my room and pass out for a few hours.

I hope that I'll be able to get some decent internet access and if you are lucky I'll be updating from my travels - Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Alexandria & Sinai - and not just seething quietly.

Arrividerci!
