Ok so I skipped the entry for yesterday.  It was yet another day spent travelling from Nuweiba to our hotel in Giza this time by bus and taxi once here in Cairo.  We’re drawing to the last few days of our trip so its the ‘nice nights’ to end it on a good note.  We’re staying at the Le Meridian Pyramid View hotel.  Its lovely and we have a view of the Pyramids from our rooms.

We decided to go to the Sound and Light show in the evening, ok so we’d heard it was a little over rated but hey.  We’re in Giza with views of the Pyramids.  How can we not go to the Sound and Light show.  So since we’d decided to do a tour of the Pyramids tomorrow since we have a late checkout and a late flight out of Cairo today we went shopping.  Not much to tell really we hit a number of shops and between us managed to get the things that we wanted to get.

That evening we were picked up for the sound and light show.  After a little altercation over the video camera we had our seats right up the front.  I must say the Sphinx is a lot smaller than I thought it would be.  All right I had heard that it was small but its still a bit of a shock. 

Ok so the photo’s a little blurred since I didn’t have a tripod but I am sure you get the idea…

Seeing the Pyramids and the Sphinx all lit up at night is well worth it.  The commentary or ‘story’ I could have seriously done without but the light show itself was good.  At one point the volume was pumped up to drown out the racket from the call to prayer which was somewhat annoying.

All up it was a good night and we had a ‘night cap’ when we got back to the hotel before heading off to bad.
