Cairo – Day 4
Well, based on how we ended our day yesterday, you can probably guess how we will begin today, right? That’s right. We get up, eat our breakfast looking out over the pyramids while talking to some Peruvians, and then head into the heart of Cairo again to the Egyptian Museum! We pay our entrance fee…

Cairo – Day 3
Alright, everyone knows that Egypt has the pyramids, but that’s not the only thing that there is to see in Egypt. So, after two days of visiting the pyramids, let’s head into actual Cairo. Although all of the posts have so far been titled “Cairo,” we’ve actually been in Giza. But today we hope to…

Cairo – Day 2
So… take 2? From our post from yesterday you can tell that we were less than pleased with our “guide,” so today we will redo the pyramids as we wanted to do them yesterday. Hopefully we can get into them all and explore a bit more. My partner just has to try to sneak out…

Cairo, Egypt – Day 1
So, we realize we showed you this yesterday… but we just can’t get over it! This is what we saw when we woke up, opened the curtains, and looked outside. So excited! And then we went upstairs for our breakfast. Can you guess what we’re eating and what we’re looking at? So, you may have…

Travel Day
Well, the day has come to leave Saudi Arabia. We’ve spent almost a month here (with a detour to Bahrain), but we think we’ve managed our time well to see very different regions of the country. Not a bad trip at all! But we can’t just leave without having our last stroll. Remember how my…

Jeddah – Day 7
Alright, our last full day in Jeddah and in Saudi Arabia. Let’s start it off well. If you’ve been following our trip, you’ll know why we’re taking a picture with our breakfast, hehe. Today my partner took some time to actually leave the hotel because he’s getting ready for the next leg of our adventure.…

Jeddah – Day 6
We’re back in Jeddah because we have more options for direct flights out of Jeddah than Madinah. As you can imagine, we are soon going to have to leave Saudi Arabia. We’ve already spent about a month traveling around this big country, but… we still don’t have any idea where we’re going to go next.…

Travel Day
We wake up in Madinah and see something we haven’t seen in a long, long time… clouds/fog! As we mentioned in our last post, we can’t stay any longer in Madinah because we can’t get a hotel room. But, we also can’t leave Madinah on a Friday before witnessing the Friday prayer. So, with that…

Madinah – Day 4
So… should we actually explore some of the historic sites we’ve told you about over the past few days? It’s called a hop on, hop off bus… but all we did was ride around except for getting off for prayer time and to walk from the Quba Mosque. Let’s get a bit closer to history…

Madinah – Day 3
We will start today as we ended yesterday. You may hate this… but we’re the ones exploring, no? Hehe. We leave the hotel early enough, walk down to the Prophet’s Mosque, and… get on the sightseeing bus again! Haha. Maybe my partner is tired…? Who knows. But, we did tell you it was a 24…
