THAILAND IS ONE GIANT SAUNA
Bangkok day 2
Today I was ready to see all the temples I had heard so much about, I knew they were within walking distance from the hostel so I set off on foot. I went down to the 7/11 first to get some orange juice, I figured I'd find some food on the way. It was like a sauna outside, humidity was apparently 100% I started walking for about 25 minutes, when I was beginning to realize I wasn't going in the right direction which meant another 25 minutes walk back in the heat. I had to stop a lot to drink some water and regroup, the heat was draining all my energy.

SO WHAT IF THEY STOLE YOUR IPHONE
Somewhere over Asia day 1, Bangkok, Thailand, day 1
When I checked in for my flight to Bangkok, I forgot to ask for a window seat, so instead I got stuck in the dreaded aisle seat for 8 hours. I checked my messages on my iphone before putting it in my backpack and sliding it under the seat in front of me for take off.

RELAXING DAY IN CAIRO
Cairo day 6
I slept in, by the time I got breakfast at the hostel was pretty much over. My plan for the day was to walk around Cairo and head towards the nile, maybe stop by the bazaar again.
GETTING UP CLOSE WITH THE ROYAL MUMMIES
Cairo day 5
I was on my own today, it was a bit worried going to brave crazy Cairo on my own for the first time. I got some directions from the hostel employees on how to get to the Cairo museum.

RIDING CAMELS TO THE PYRAMIDS
Cairo day 3
I was cleary still out of it when I got up the next morning, I needed more sleep but I had to be ready for 9 am for our trip to the Pyramids. Rolling out of bed was excrutiating, I ended up going straight to the bathroom I was still getting sick.
THERE ARE DRUGS IN THIS, I KNOW IT!
Cairo, Egypt day 2
I got up early because I had to be ready for the city tour. I went down to the 'common room' for breakfast. It was full of people, I was pleasantly surprised. As it turns out, there is another floor to the hostel. I ended up meeting this Belgian guy who was in Egypt with a bunch of his friends. He invited me and the German couple to come to the pyramids with them that day as they had a mini bus. I had already made a commitment to do the city tour and Lars and Stephanie, so I stuck to my word.
THIS IS MY HOSTEL? HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE DIED IN HERE?
Back to Athens day 2, Cairo, Egypt day 1
I got up and packed up my things and left my backpack down at the lobby. I was going to head to the post office before taking the train to the airport. Luckily the girl working at the front desk gave me some pretty good directions to the post office, except it was a lot further away then I expected. It was impossible to miss though, keeping that it was right next to Starbucks.
