Alexandria,Cairo, Camel & Pyramids
Well, family ...you would have been impressed with the four of us all on camels! What a hoot! We were sitting quite high and the temperature was probably about 35 degrees celcius! We were going along the desert and I managed to take quite a few pics. I suppose it was a bit from Disney land but it was fun nonetheless and it lasted about 45 minutes which was long enough for me. Alexandria is quite the city....quite dirty and very poor. We have taken lots of pics (over 600 already) so you can all see the sights and sounds and smells that we have experienced. Some of the smells from the last couple of days we won't bother sharing!!! We had a lovely dinner in the Grand Pacific Dining Room tonight and will be sailing to Corfu and will arrive there on Monday morning. Our trip is quickly coming to an end and we have enjoyed every minute of it. Girls, you will be pleased to know that I haven't had one headache yet and haven't been seasick at all!!! It is making my trip! Well, Dan and I will be going on a special date to the French restaurant tomorrow night so we'll tell you all about it later. Love you all and hope you are all well. Richard, happy 50th....we didn't forget!! and yes, Rachel....have that babe soon!! Bye for now, Dan and Heather, Mom & Dad

Well, I am so glad that you had a memorable camel ride! Will be fun to see all your pictures. I'm travelling to Edm on Sat (flying now)and hopefully will hold my grand-daughter. Tonight we celebrated Richard's big 5-0.
Continue in good health and give my love to all.

Oh I just love hearing all about your trip....sounds surreal! I can't wait to see the 600+ photos either...by the time we see each other I'm sure I'll have taken over 600+ of the baby (which I still have inside me). Grrrr....April 24th and I'm still pregnant! Soon and very soon I hope labour begins. Love you guys and talk to you when you're back. Hopefully when you're home Saturday afternoon I'll have birthed our daughter!! I really hope so!!
