Life’s a Journey

To find out, Mai and I dispatched ourselves to the ancient wonder of Alexandria, 

hustling and bustling Cairo,

to the pyramids of Giza plateau.   

Ninety-six hours later,

we had traveled by plane,

train,      bus, foot;  horse that looked like a donkey,                                                         

and dillapidated taxis with drivers from hell. 

With a little help from our egyptologist tour guide who was once   Pharaoh Ramses’ great lover, or so she thought, we were able to stand in awe through  

the    great Pyramids,                     

and mystifying sphinx.                                             

braved a 140 kilometers per hour fierce sandstorm @ the world’s oldest stone monument and the very first pyramid Step Pyramid of Zoser  built 5,000 BC

in Saqqara and Memphis,

[the cradle of civilization in Memphis @ Saqqara in the Land of the Pharaohs.]

Alexandria where Pharos Lighthouse of Alexandria,

one of the 7 Wonders  of the Ancient World was once located;

crossed the Nile river,      

[cruisin' through the great Nile River with my great hairdo.]

visited the site of the 12th Century Cairo Citadel of Saladdin, one of the seven greatest wonders of the medieval world;                                                 

enter Tut’s tomb, meet ancient mummies, and more.

So how much can you pack in? Peek into our journal and find out ..

DAY 1

And so there we were at the airport in Cairo.   And we had no idea where or how to start. 

Thank goodness we had that magical book called the Lonely Planet Travel Guide book of everything you need to know in Middle East travel.

5:30a.m.: We’re off early to Alexandria catching the first bus and headed to a series of journeys of our adventure honeymoon…

Jordan. Egypt.  Malaysia.
