Day of Sloth

I have turned into a slow motion creature, everything has been done at half pace today and to be honest, very little has been done at all.

The funny stuff though, my blip is of Giza Pyramid no 2, Chephren ( the red house from our school houses) and in the foreground the previously magnificent palace which is now a building site. We went to have a look this morning but, it being a building site, didn’t go in, just thought it a shame. After our dinner tonight we went and asked one of the useful reception men (he was likely one of of suitcase release gang of earlier in the week) where the hotel shops were as we had seen no sight of them. Come with me and I will dhow you he said, leading us forth from the hotel. Brilliantly, to his golf buggy which we set off in, at one point a little question from my mum if we were leaving the the hotel. But no, he dropped us off at the door of the old palace (building site) where we were guided by a lady through a building site to a shop selling the most expensive tatty pile of nonsense you have ever seen. Made us laugh a lot, the whole thing- they are missing a trick with their completely invisible, inaccessible, rip off shop mind.

Otherwise slow swimming, reading, wine by the pool. Nice job.
