that was a nightmare for none of the reasons we expected it to be a nightmare but we're in Egypt
it is our last morning in India we are packing up
now because we've got a flight in a couple of hours to our next country
sadly we are leaving India today we've loved India even though we didn't see as much of it as we wish
we did we got to see some like incredible animals incredible structures and buildings
and ate some of the best food we've ever had in our lives and we got to see the Taj
Mahal that's the first wonder on this trip yeah we're going to the second one straight to the
second one yeah we have been here just under three weeks which is definitely not enough
time but we've got to move on to our next country so from here we've got a flight to do
a bit of a layover and then another flight to Egypt yeah we'll get to fall asleep with
a view of the pyramids tonight that's insane our flight's boarding now so we gotta go
it has been our pleasure taking care of you today
we're in Doha that flight was so nice and it went way too quickly i wish it would have just kept
going i forgot how nice like non-budget airlines are yeah switching off watching
a movie having food delivered to you having a red wine red wine in two months
love it love it so we are in Doha airport now for another couple of hours before we
get our next flight which then will be another five hours i believe before we land in Cairo
super excited for Cairo but also kind of scared because we've heard a lot about all of the scams
all of the issues that tourists can face when they go to Cairo especially Cairo airport so
this whole situation is going to get dismantled and put in the bag so as discrete as possible
we elected to do our visas online to try and take away as many things as possible that we
could stop for at the airport and that was easy we got them through last night so just in the
nick of time and we also did a health declaration so there shouldn't be any Covid tests or anything
like that needed either wouldn't be easy for the Covid restrictions which is one of the reasons
we chose Egypt because it was so easy and it didn't cost any money to get tests or anything
like that like Emily said every time you research traveling to Egypt the internet is just covered
with people talking about how difficult it can be and scams and people wanting tips for nothing and
the craziness of it so we are trying to mentally prepare for it but also try and make it easy
on ourselves and just put this away don't draw attention to ourselves blend in sneak out yeah
probably not gonna be able to film anything in the Egypt airport if i do great but i'm
dismantling this whole thing i'm just gonna have the camera and probably not even gonna turn it on
to be honest so we will catch you up when we get to the hotel room yeah but one more awesome flight
until we get there until we get to amazing Cairo and we have a view of the pyramids i'm so excited
That was a nightmare for none of the reasons we expected it to be a nightmare
but we're in Egypt we're in Egypt so got off the plane went straight through with all our documents
they barely looked at anything stamp stamp stamp walked got our bags walked through a couple of
security checks which were both super quick we had heard so many bad things and it was super easy i
would argue that's one of the easiest airports we've had this entire trip i agree i think maybe
three or four people total came up to ask us if we wanted a taxi but as soon as we said no thank you
they were okay and walked away yeah no pressure yeah i wasn't expecting got an uber really quickly
and the uber driver was really nice but then our hotel had their address wrong the driver called
and spoke to them in Arabic which we couldn't understand sent us a whatsapp pin and we went
to that whatsapp pin we went down and in around and it was very dodgy and then up some very
dodgy elevators but we're here and the room is kind of nice the room's fine and they upgraded
us for the hassle which was really nice so we now have a balcony view of the pyramids
let's show you the view well you're not going to be able to see anything
so yeah we're in that uber for about two hours but
we're here now we can forget about it worry about what we're doing tomorrow
