Since I visited the museum of antiquities as a child
http://www.rmo.nl/english/ I wanted to go to Egypt, and I"ll try to take a peek at the inside. It seems incredible that men made these things.
And I wonder how tall those pyramids and the statues at the Abu Simbel temples are

Also, I will be spending some days in Caïro and have heard that their attitude against women is somewhat agressive. As I will be going alone, I will have to stay with my group there, I suppose. We'll see.
And what about the food......I remember ' starving' in Iran on soup and salad, and losing 7 kilo's.
Exciting all.
