Day 2 - Inside the Pyramids, Cairo

We went inside the Pyramids and it was a bit disappointing because i thought we'd see a lot of the tombs..but there was only two rooms to see inside, the tombs were carved out of the rock, six bodies in one room..must have smelt well bad...when u enter the pyramid, you have to go down this slippery piece of wood under your feet but you have to bend forward at the same time because the roof is soo low, i hit my forehead really hard against the rocky roof, and i thought i would get a bruise because it felt soo sore, but i didn't...finally we got into the passage way, but it was very hot and i was sweating buckets, in fact all of us were dripping...imagine the smell of the bodies in that heat back in the Pharoah's time...so gross, so we went further down some normal steps into a room with six body shaped groves in the walls...we sat there for a few mins because my friend said she felt like she was going to collapse...she's incredibly skinny and really unfit! Anyway, so after that we went back in the passage way and she kept saying, “please lets go”..so i just popped my head into the other tomb, which was the only other place to look at, and it was a tiny room, you couldn't even stand up in it, because the roof was too low...so we all left, going back up the slippery wooden plank was harder! We came out and my friend was totally out of breath, but I was okay...we headed back to the guide who had our cameras, we couldn't see him anywhere and we thought he'd done a runner with our cameras...but then i saw him at a distance riding his horse...My friend was totally out of it by the time we got to him, because the sand was too hot, and to walk in the desert is painful, my toes were burning because of the sun and the heat of the sand despite wearing sandals..we sat down in the shade of some rocks and my friend washed her face with cold water, i think she was feeling sick because we hadn't eaten any breakfast that morning...and she's so skinny she really needs the energy!

So we took the horses up this hill and the guide took some more pics...and i bought some postcards from this man sitting on the baking sand earning his living by selling cards and hats etc...he was soo old and wrinkly too! Finally we got back to where we had first taken the horses
