Halfway

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

In a few hours we’re braving the negative temperatures of Haarlem to walk to the bus station. After posting winter gear home today we are all ready for our 7am flight to Cairo and the commencement of the second half of the trip.

We’ve spent the past week staying with Tristan in Haarlem, an awesome town about a 20 minute train ride from Amsterdam. We’ve spent the time between relaxing and seeing the sights. Highlights definetly being the Heineken brewery and trying (and failing) snowboarding. It has been fairly cold while we’ve been here. The tv claims it is one of europes coldest ever winters and people are ice skating on all of the canals here (incredibly cool).

Pictures continue to be a pain to post on here, but we’ve managed to put a few hundred on facebook.

In Egypt we have one night to ourselves before a 9 day tour down the nile and through the sahara.
