Egypt and the Pyramids

 We had a tough travel day getting to Egypt, 27 hours (Home to AIRBNB), but we enjoyed every minute.  We visited the Pyramids of Giza and Sphinx, we went in the pyramids, sat on the pyramids and rode camels.  We went to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) in Cario which is only 80% finished, it's the largest museum in the world with a cost of ONE billion dollars.  We stayed in old Cario, it's a very large part of the city on the west bank of the Nile, then went to Cario's citadel and the mosque of Muhammad, with a great view of the city and Cario tower. We felt like we were in the Middle East without missiles.

Cebu Philippines, our last stop in the Philippines

We stayed in Tambuli Seaside resort in Lapu-Lapu City outside of Cebu for 4 weeks taking day trips to other sites. One thing I found interesting was Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral, unlike many other cathedrals and churches.  The Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral focuses much more on the history of religion in the city. Lapu-Lapu City is where Magellan was killed in 1521 on his trip around the world (He didn't make it all the way around).  We found the Filipino people a very peaceful people always smiling and willing to help.  However, it's very poor here and they work hard every day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back to the Philippines, this time it's El Nido

We spent two weeks in El Nido Philippines which is a hot spot for island hoping.  From here you can take day trips and multi-day trips to many islands.  We took a few trips to several different islands and had lots of fun.  We also took a scooter around the island to different towns.
