The Pyramids Are Awesome!

During our autumn holiday we went to the Pyramids of Giza. This was an amazing trip facilitated by our driver, Habib, a great guy! The boys were super excited. It was almost surreal, I never thought we would ever see one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world. The Sphinx was so much smaller than we thought it would be, photos always show it in the foreground so the size is distorted. Still impressive though!! Most amazing is just how close the Pyramids are to the city itself. The streets of Cairo go right up to them and there's a Pizza Hut just outside the entrance gates. We were mobbed by everyone who was selling souvenirs, with so little tourist trade since the revolution their eyes light up at the sight of a foreigner.
