Egypt is an... interesting place, in every sense of the word.

I went in May 2009, just before their summer, and it was beautiful... Well, sailing down the Nile on the top deck of a 5 Star Cruiser on a cloudless day was beautiful.

The poverty and dirtiness of the cities, however, was an eye-opener. I'd never been overseas before and to go to a 3rd world country (as I believe Egypt is classed) was a shock to the system for the young lad from Tassie.

And so many bloody tourists
