A little time before we leave for the airport so a short post from last night.

The Highlights group met in the lobby to go to our sound and light show. Today no traffic, amazing. Hossam was with us for the transfer. He is the logistics man he is the one that picked us all up at the airport and is always around making sure things are working smoothly. While we were waiting he book a whole box of kit kats. They were chilled and really hit the spot. He knows how to keep us happy.

The big bus with the other 11 showed up after
"doing it all" they had big smiles and said they were not that tired.

Into the light show we went. This was amazing all these chairs set out and the only people seeing the show were the 27 in our group. It must seats hundreds. We took the opportunity to take a group shot in front of the pyramids with no one else around. They have changed it since we last came and I think there were less of the laser graphics at the end. It was the full 50 minute show. It was early so it was not dark to start with but they do not use the lights until later on anyway. It was great to see the sun go down slowly behind the pyramids. There were two camel riders that set the scene at at one point a large jet flew in the sky behind the pyramids. It was quite a contrast to see the plane and the ancient pyramids. I am not sure how this was arranged but we all did feel like VIP's. As we left the line of people stretched way down the street waiting to get in for the public show.

Off to the private yacht. This was not what I had expected but by this time our standards had been set so high we were probably unrealistic. The meal was catered by Oberoi and was tasty. There was a large downstairs cabin and an upstairs with a while circular couch. Once we spread out between the two areas it was quite comfortable.

Some were tired from the day and after dinner decided to head back and of course our guides were wonderful about this and took them back in the bus. The rest of us set sail and we were all upstairs. Once we started sailing it actually got wonderful. It was a little chilly but not too bad. We were having a wonderful time, some beatles music in the backgrounmd suited me. THEN the desserts arrived. Strawberries, whipped cream, creme caramel, chocolate cake, a pastry cream and pastry cake, a chocolate mousse. Yum yum yum. For a small group we of about 20 we put a BIG dent in those desserts. I had coffee and to my tastes this was terrific coffee.

We were home by about 9.30 pm so we had a little earlier night that we all needed.

Running upstairs now to get our carryons, here comes the challenge the airport and our guides said they will do all they can to make it painless but an airport has rules. They will have all our boarding passes and the only place to eat is a burger king. Great, any excuse to eat that terrrible but great tasting fast food works for me. Of course Hossam who always does all he can to look after us as much as possible said he would bring us snacks so we would not starve.

Fast post I know there will be spelling errors and other mistakes but this is all the time I have.
