Yep Ill second that,has you will know then we joined the cruise at Luxor,my other half loved it,he really surprised me when he said he could live there,I felt like a right burk because we visited the market in Luxor and I ended up in tears on the pavement when I saw a poor donkey working,pulling a load far too heavy for him :frown: I think they dont treat the animals very well at all.I dont think I better go down that road again.Well off to watch corrie.Bye have a nice time.:thumbsup:

:D For those who have never had a shave in Egypt they get a regular length of cotton and put one end in their teeth and then hold onto the other end and then run the cotton back and forwards over your face. The cotton twists and in twisting it rips all your facial hair out :eek: We went in and sat next to each other, unsuspecting, trusting tourists, and then when they started doing this all you could here was arggg fu**inell and stuff. It took about 30 minutes to clear all facial hair right up to the scalp. The forehead was the worst cos we was sunburned anyway. It was sooo funny though I almost weed through laughing and pain cos I had told Derbyflan it was relaxing. We were in the chair saying "this has got something to do with the Iraq war it has to" it was that painful. We walked out like shiny beacons and in shock :blink: Still earlier in the year I was in Turkey and had a shave and the bloke set fire to my ears, the missus was wetting herself and theres this barber saying "Shish Kebab" and laughing and I can smell burning flesh. One way of getting rid of the hair I guess though I could have done that myself and saved a few bob :p

No guts to do it again Derbyflan I will if you will :thumbsup:
