Currently I am in Romania Bucharest and it definitely a new sight, the capital in one word.... dump. But i guess that is why I am here, to experience something different. We only got here last night so I haven't got much to say about Romania yet.

In terms of my last trip, Egypt was amazing! This is definitely the best place I have been for sight-seeing, some of the ancient artifacts are truly unbelievable. The pyramids are a true spectacle but Abu Simble was probably the coolest thing I saw (picture with the people carved out of the rock face). Life in Egypt very different to that of the western world, it reminded me a lot of Morocco. The hagglers here were the worst I have ever seen but I still had an amazing time. One of my memories was getting a horse and cart back to my hotel and it being cheaper than a taxi!! Relaxing on a Fellucca while sailing down the nile for 2 nights was also certainly an experience.

When I landed back in London from Egypt I had 6 hours to get home, re-pack and get to a different airport fly out to Poland. I almost pulled out as after such a full on tour of Egypt you just want to relax but thanks to a bit of a push from a friend I went. And I am so glad I did in the end as Krakow was definitely better than expected. Great place to party (I drank way to much on the first night I was there) and it was really cheap. I also went and saw Auschwitz (concentration camp where over 1.1 million people were murdered) which was something you had to see but very very sad.

I will add pictures at a later date

Bye for now,
