Today is our last day and i dread it because again i have to come home alone. We had our breakfast, Ruth and Doug wanted to go to the Egyptian Museum, Hamada goes to the mosque every Friday so he said we would go after he had been there. I’d had another telephone call at 4am so Hamada and me went to speak to guest relations but they couldn’t understand how when i’d had a telephone block put on whoever was getting through, Hamada insisted it was someone working at the hotel but they wouldn’t have it. So we never did get to the bottom of it or find out who it was.
Ruth and Doug went to do their packing and i went by the pool for my last sun-bathe. Joyce and Pam were already there so i joined them. We were enjoying the sun, relaxing and talking and i was minding my own business when suddenly i was showered with cold water. I didn’t know where it had come from ’til a fellow bather pointed upwards, when i looked up there was Ruth hanging out the window of her room, six floors up with a bottle of water ! Laughing her head off she was, the minx.

When Hamada came back i went to shower and get ready to go out. We took the metro to the museum, it is huge and there is so much to see you need to make several visits but it’s not permitted to take photographs inside the museum which was a pity.

After the museum we went for a chicken burger, then walked along the Nile. We stopped at a cafe on the way and relaxed by the river for a while watching the boats go by.

When we got back to the hotel i went to do my packing, Joyce, Pam and the boys were downstairs so Hamada went down to see them. In a way i was glad because i would probably have got upset. After i finished my packing, i really hate this part, i showered and got ready to go downstairs. It was quite late when Ruth and Doug went down with me, i had to prise Hamada away from his new friends so we could go and eat. We ate in the hotel, usually i’d been happy with whatever i ordered but i was disappointed with my meal tonight, though i have to say everyone else enjoyed theirs.When we had eaten we went to join the others, the boys were very happy to see us, and Mahmoud was saying ” oh where have you been i missed you”, ah nice of him to say. We had a few drinks but couldn’t stay too late because we all had to be up early for our flights. It was a sad time but we had fun and made the most of our last night together, you have to so you have something nice to look back on and remember.
