Back to Cairo, Egypt

It appears I have chipped a tooth. For the life of me I can’t imagine how. I’ve been eating pita and falafel since I got to this country. How in the actual fuck do you chip a tooth on bread? Add it to the ‘only me’ list…

After spending two days in Hurghada we traveled back to Cairo by bus- this time it didn’t break down and we made it back in around 6 hours. We went to the Egypt museum and saw the actual treasures that were in King Tut’s tomb along with his gold headdress thingy that was on his head when he was mummified – that was insane. Then we toured Old Egypt. It’s pretty beat up, like bad bad. Saw some churches and the actual place where Jesus camped out inside the church. Wild. After that we made our way to the Cairo Bazar! I had been waiting for this since I got to Egypt- shopping! I haggled with the locals and bought a few gifts for my monster nieces and such. Then I sprung and bought a hookah for myself. I’m very happy with the purchase. Although it’s already been confiscated once at the hotel because they think I’m going to smoke it in my room- I got custody of it back when I promised that I would contain my urges.

Today I’m relaxing in the hotel in Cairo because tomorrow morning, I fly to Jordan!!
