UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH THE ROCKS





Spent the day around the pyramids of Giza.
After a few hours walking around, I met Ali (camel driver), and after starting a chat, decided I liked the guy, and hired him and Moses (my camel), to cruise around the sites .... bumpy ride ... but well worth it.
By end of the day, I finished off at the Sphynx, and sat there for few hours observing the tourists, and thinking about life ... and how lucky I am to so freely be doing all this travelling.
Once again, started talking with all the kids (hawking trinkets/cards/etc) .. and they were fascinated I was from Australia.... off course had to establish that I had no money first .. and after that, they were really cool, and just wanted to hang around, talk English, and have their photos taken.
