The day has finally come - I'm heading home.
I leave Cairo this afternoon heading for Singapore and then tomorrow morning I start the final leg of my journey back home.
I'm so excited!
In some ways it feels like I've been gone forever, in other ways it feels like I've been gone only a short time.
Either way, it's exciting to be heading home.
Next time I post I should be home.
Toodles for now.

Egypt
This update will be unbelievably short as I don't have a lot of time on the internet.
I am indeed in Egypt. Arrived on the 2nd and started a tour straight away.
The tour is absolutely exhausting, we're either doing absolutely nothing or absolutely everything. There is no middle ground.
We started in Cairo and then caught a train to Aswan (15 hour train ride was interesting). We drove to Abu Simbel (left Aswan at 3am) and then spent 3 nights on a Felucca. That was definitely an experience. There are no toilets on the Felucca and where you stop at night there are no toilets either. It's a little easier being on a felucca when you're a guy. After the Felucca we went to Luxor and visited the Valley of the Kings.
I'm in Hurghada at the moment, which is on the Red Sea. Hopefully we will have a few days to relax. On Saturday we drive back to Cairo and then I have 4 nights until I fly home.
I'm kinda 50-50 about Egypt at the moment. I have had some amazing experiences here and some truly dreadful experiences as well.
Not one of our group of 10 has escaped the dreaded Egyptian Belly! Definitely not fun when you're moving around so much.
Ok, will try to update more over the next couple of days.
