Hey Travel Lover
It’s been soooo long, did you miss me? I missed me too, ooops, I missed you too. I wish I had an explanation for the long silence. Can I just chalk it to the four-letter word, L.I.F.E, yeah life happened, but it’s good to be back.
So, where did we stop? Yeah Cairo, I’m sure you are as lost as I am, please refresh your memory here.
After visiting the Papyrus Institute and the Oils & Essence factory, we made our way to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, it is noteworthy that at this point, bestie was wondering why we included this location in our itinerary. She was almost reluctant to go in, lol.
Then we go in, visit the royal mummies, all 22 of them, unfortunately we couldn’t take pictures. We saw some mummies with braids and couldn’t help wondering if the braids had stayed that way for centuries. We also saw lots of items invented by the Egyptians, like surgical instruments, make-up, medicine, calendar, paper and ink and a host of other items. You can see bestie mesmerized, wink wink.
After taking in the sights and sounds of the museum, we go for lunch at a local restaurant, here bestie and I decided we LOVED Egyptian food, unfortunately, I was too hungry to capture the meal, but we had this refreshing lemonade goodness which I took seconds of.
Earlier in the day, our guide had taught us how to use katosh to form letters, whilst eating we noticed his neckpiece had katosh lettering but it didn’t spell his name. When we asked whose name was on his neck, he said it was his ex-girlfriend. This was hilarious and the high point of our meal.
Energy level back up, we head to the market where we got souvenir T-shirts and did a little window shopping. By this time, we were ready to return to our hotel. Back in the hotel, we rested a while and decided to go to the other side of town for dinner. Our guide had earlier suggested Sky Rim, we made our reservation and zoomed out to the restaurant. The cocktails were not the best I’d had but the meal again scored 10/10 with us.
Finally beat, we dragged ourselves back to the hotel for a much-deserved night rest as we had an early start the next morning. Whew…. What a day!!!
So, Travel Lover, did we do too much in one day? Would you like to visit Cairo and experience all we did? Is Egypt on your bucketlist?
Till next week
Live, Love, Laugh
