Our last few days in Egypt were spent in Cairo looking at the Egyptian museum and the pyramids (thank you Joe and Kristel for our senduspacking gift!). We also went inside two pyramids, although one was only a mound of sand on the surface not sure if the guide was having us on about that one as we pi**ed her off by saying that we wouldn’t go to the carpet school factory, paper making factory and other misc tourist tat shops! Apart from her attitude we had a great time 
) Below are a few pics.
PS – Andrew, we met a guy as well outside the museum who was insistent that we were going the wrong way but we ignored him and walked right to the entry rather than the shop he was pointing at… Think I remember you saying you had this as well? well, I guess there’s prob 100 of those guys doing 24/7 shifts outside there!
