The first day in Egypt not including the day that we flew was pretty good. I got to go inside a pyramid which was pretty cool!! When Ahmed tells us about some of the history, I don't really listen because it's kind of hard for me to concentrate on a lot of things at once especially about history because there are words that I don't know the meaning of. I got to see a Sphinx and pyramids and I fot to see historic stuff in the museum. There was a mummy room and I didn't know if I would be scared or not. I went in and I didn't like what I saw. It was really scary. Jarrah said that one of the queens was obece but I looked at her mummy and it was really thin.
The next day was the overnight train. It was pretty good especially when I got to go up the ladder to get onto my bed. It was pretty small but yeah. The food wasn't as great as I thought it woud be. Later in the afternoon we went on a felucca boat on the Nile. That was fun.
The camel day has been one of my favourites. We got to go on a camel and there were four camels but three owners. My camel, Flower and mum's camel, Lulu had the same owner. Jarrah had a camel called Cuckoo and dad's one was something like Zizzy. I got to ride Flower all by myself with only the guy helping her a bit and hitting her to go faster. When we went down a hill, mum's was tied onto mine and she didn't want to go fast so the guy let mine go so I went fast.
I really enjoyed the Nile cruise. I was with dad and it was fun!!!! The meals were really good especially as it was a buffet and there was dessert after lunch AND dinner!! :)
Other things were ok.
The Red Sea boat today was alright. I slept on the way to the snorkelling area. We hired flippers and 2 snorkels for Jarrah and I. Jarrah went in nearly straight away and got someone to fix his snorkel. We could choose if we wanted life jackets and Jarrah and I got one. He was off looking at fish and coral while I was hanging onto the life ring shivering and chattering. I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted to go look at fish and coral because I love animals and nature and thins in water. I was really upset about that. When we were moving, we saw a dolphin!!!!!!
These are my (Jade's) impressions on the trip to Egypt so far.
