Dec 29 - Cairo Redux

Just a half-day of touring today, enough to see the Cairo Museum including King Tut’s famous sarcophagus’ and headdress; no photos were allowed but actually what was more interesting to see the square where the revolution took place, right in front of the Museum.

Next was a quick tour of old Cairo, seeing the old mosque, old Eastern Orthodox cathedral, and old synagogue, all within an hour. At the mosque, for some reason Jessica decided it was time to bring out her Lord of the Rings cosplay.

We had an option to a Nile dinner cruise, a camel ride in the desert, or go see the evening light show at the Pyramids, but we decided to call it a day. Back at the hotel we thought we might go for a swim on the rooftop pool, perhaps do some blogging, and maybe watch a movie on the laptop. Instead, we lay down on the bed for what turned out to be a four-hour nap, awakening just long enough to eat and then go back to bed for another eight hours.

It’s been a tiring few weeks.
