decided to go to...

egypt! we got a great deal, 3 travellers for £960 for 5 weeks no hotel, but its ok i know what to do, we will rent a one bedroom flat for 150£ for the whole time, that is about 1500 egyptian LE(sterlings). what u do is go to an estate agent, people let their flats out, so its cheaper and more comfy then a hotel! we will stay with my inlaws for a few days though.... anyways, thank god the dilema is over!

will you be in Cairo the whole time?

Sounds great! Hope you have fun.

My husband was commissioned to take photos in Cairo and I went along with him for a few weeks. It was quite an experience! 

i used to live there for almost three years, to britwife, no we will go to marsa matrouh. and upper egypt(means southern) part of egypt i hope!

Where is Marsa Matrouh?

Sounds like a good holiday!

Sounds lovely.  I'm jealous!

You'll have to posts lots of pics when you get back!

oooh!!  i hope you have loads of fun and eat great food   goodness, what i would give for some real egyptian food...do you smoke sheesha?

swelch2, i love the food that is where i learnt to cook! most my foods are from there, anyways i am going to post some recipes soon! my dh smokes a lot of sheesha, even when go to brighton he brings it, its hubbly bubbly and looks like a hashesh insstrument to smoke weed in ( not that i would know) anyways, he just came back and brought a lot of shesha back with him..... we buy it here for 6£ a box, there its like 6 LE.... he is smoking as we speack! cherry on this one. he also smoked in the car all the way to scotland

ahh!!  i used to smoke sheesha so much in uni   (i'm lebanese and all my friends where egyptian or moroccan or something haha)  and the food!  dear god, moving to Japan was the WORST mistake for that!  though I do love Japanese food, I need my foul and hummus and kebab every now and then!  it is getting much better food wise and it made me learn to cook more haha  Why were you there for 3 years?  Sorry if I am too nosey-feel free to ignore!

i used to work there!  i worked for future schools... i lived in madina nasr saydea zainub for a bit... i love beshmael.. i miss that the most!

ahh  that is so awesome!  I've worked in Japan for 3 years and am in need of a change quickly   I do love it here but wow, Egypt   Maybe I should try to convince the husband...haha

have a great great time!!  and please eat enough food for me!!!   

that is cool to work in japan! im telling ya anyone that has been to cairo can verify this, to live there is so hard, its crowded, poluted, etc. but there is so much history! i dont think i could live there again, and i know after a week of some fine egyptian food, and some dierreha tabs, i will be done with it. it will be so hot there, and i will be ready to come back home! LOL

  so true  how different it is to live and work in a place than to just visit!  great experience all the same though!!!  and heat..oh goodness, how i will miss the sun once i move to Harrogate!!  enjoy that for me too 

Me wanna holiday    chucking dollies out of my pram now...and stamping my feet 

I am so jealous..you lucky thing!
