Ha, I’m in Library of Alexandria right now. The ticket comes with 1 hour free internet in the library. This newly built library (finished at 2002) is very cool. It is the 8th biggest libarary in the world and has the largest open reading area. Unfortunately our driver is waiting outside to have sea food… Continue reading From Library of Alexandria
From Luxor
I’ve been staying in Luxor for the past two days. I visited many tombs and temples and they are all wonderful, especially Karnak Temple which is just phenomenal. This morning I did a hot balloon trip over the west bank of Luxor and it was very exciting. My cruise will keep sailing to south this… Continue reading From Luxor
From Cairo!
Ha, I’m at an internet cafe in Cairo right now! Yesterday I went to see the great Pyramids and they are really amazing. Cairo is a kind of scary city, but in a way very similar to Beijing-_-. I will visit Egyptian Museum and Old Cairo etc. today and will head to south tonight. Ha,… Continue reading From Cairo!
出发了出发了
下午的飞机，先飞到德国，然后转到埃及，嘿嘿唷。唯一让人担心的是旅行社对cruise的具体事情始终不理不睬，希望不会被坑@_@。现在在想德国机场会不会卖啤酒哪，卖的话转机的3小时就可以在德国喝喝德国啤酒了，哈。 埃及唷，俺来了。
埃及的行程终于大致定下来了
计划旅行总是很麻烦的，去年计划 Las Vegas 就麻烦了很久。这次埃及行，联系了三家埃及当地的旅行社还有亲爱的陈甜大爷帮我们找的一家，死皮赖脸讨价还价并做各种小修改同时搜索相关信息无数后，选择了最后联系的一家。原则上也可以先自己定宾馆，到了那里再联系旅行社安排行程，据称这样灵活些也可能便宜些，不过考虑到我们去的时间是旺季，有些东西需要提前预定（主要是车票和好一点的cruise），而且我们也不是什么资深背包客，提前定了，省心一点吧。时间有限，决定放弃Sinai和红海，具体行程等回来再说吧，说不定到了那里还会有小改动，基本上就是 Cairo + Luxor + Aswan + Abu Simbel + Alexandria，其中Luxor到Aswan一段坐 5 star deluxe 的cruise，呵呵，不过整体上埃及的星级评定比较混乱，希望我挑的那艘不错。现在的安排有一天多在开罗的空闲，要和陈甜同学商量商量看她这个主人怎么招待我们哈。下周二出发，嗯，就要到了。 Dec 9th update: 行程果然变啦，缩减了在aswan的一天，要去游绿洲，在沙漠里坐4×4吉普狂奔，夜晚在荒地里camping看星星数蝎子，听陈甜大爷讲解埃及历史！
