Egypt 2010: Day 09: Cairo - Goodbye, till next time...

"Doing what you like is freedom. Liking what you do is happiness..."

We checked out at noon, and walked towards the pyramids. For the last time we want to be near the magnificient structures and appreciate the beauty of one of the remaining ancient wonders.

(Pyramid climbing is prohibited)

As the days passed, however, our ancient Egyptian adventures began to lose their thrill. As did everything else. The sumptuous cuisine lost its taste, ancient ruins no longer held our interest, the begging culture started to irritate our nerves. Even the dazzling sunsets looked dull.

How could this be? What more is there to experience? What is it we are missing now?

It's the end of our trip. We are starting to miss our grand daughter and home sweet home...
