Sunday 6th May

We all met for breakfast as this was our last day and we were all leaving at different times. Most people were leaving at midnight with us and had decided to relax by the pool for the day. Kieran still wanted to get out and about and also get some Egyptian cotton towels and sheets. So we spoke to hotel staff and arranged a taxi. We had this guy for about 4hrs and we went to Cairo mall and also back to the bizarre. He kept asking us if we wanted to go to all the tourist sites and places we had already been and we had to keep telling him that we had done all that. For the whole day of this guy driving us around it only cost us £20 pretty good value. We did end up getting the towels and sheets too in the bazzar. We were over the crowds and the heat, headed back to the hotel where we had time for a swim and dinner by the pool. It was then off to collect our bags and catch our airport transfer at midnight. Where we caught our 2:30am flight to Istanbul had a 3hour stop over in Istanbul and then a four hour flight to Heathrow. We arrived to the beautiful rainy, cloudy, 15 degree weather of London wearing 3/4 pants and thongs with no umbrellas……….Welcome Back!
