Well a lot has happened since I last posted and dont for a moment think I've forgotten to update you all, it's rather a lack of time and sleep and all the travelling we've been doing. We caught the 8 hours train back from Luxor to Cairo and you can't really sleep on a train well at least not this one. We were rudely woken up at 2.30am from a man shouting for our tickets (not a very pleasent expereince), the same guy then proceeded to sit outside of our cabin on the train and do some paperwork and count his money, the six of us in the cabin were all a little freaked out, but needless to say we survived, I think we all slept with one eye open from that moment on. By the time we arrived in Cairo it was lunch time and all I really wanted was to go to the hotel and freshen up a little, but we couldn't check in. So we dumped our bags and went to a perfum place, were I got a head spin from all the smells, it was somewhat interesting though.
The evening saw us catching up with Ahmed one final time. Im truly going to miss him, you know when you meet someone and something just clicks well thats how it is with him. I think I've been very privillaged to have met someone here that I can just talk, I guess apart of travelling is meeting new people and creating new friendships that can potentially survive any distance, I'd like to think I've created a number of new friends, call me someone who is willing to break down barriers and elimnate the sterotype that has been force feed to me.
Well it's late, 1am. So I think it's bed time considering our bus leaves for Dahab at 7am and I know I'll hardly sleep on the bus (they offically are my least favourite transport).
Mandz, nodding off.
