Day 120...A very bidet experience - 24th October

Only had about 4 hours sleep, but got up so we could eat the inclusive breakfast. They are going to feed us 3 buffet meals today - and boy howdy we're going to get our money's worth!

Did nothing all day, seeing as we had no swimmers to swim in the pool, no spare clothes etc. We didn't sleep either which was strange, just watched TV and hung around. Nathan had some beers and a bath.

Only thing that happened to me that day was a bidet incident. In Egypt, all the toilets have a hose in the wall which you can pull out, turn on, and wash your bum with. But here was a bidet. It was different to the European bidet's which had a tap like faucet which you splash around with. I peered over, and it looked like it came up out of a grill in the middle of it. Curious, I pulled the lever, thinking a 30cm high water fountain would splash up. Wrong! A massive, super force - jet of water came shooting out and hit me directly in the face, and then the ceiling above me! I let out a strangled scream, coughed and spluttered then promptly fell about laughing. Typical! I couldn't believe it. That thing would rip your colon apart!

Had a stressful day and night as I kept trying to call our Kenyan tour company to let them know about the flight change, and the assholes never called back or texted or anything. I finally got him when we were just about to board and it was all ok. phew! (I would later come to learn that it was typical of this company. Oh well, we paid buckleys for them so what do you expect?)

After our inclusive dinner we got shuttled back onto the bus and to the airport. The Kenyan guys (including coach) were still incredibly stinky. That made me cranky. Last night they could have had an excuse. But today - we knew they had shower facilities in their room. So smelling like a bunch of sweaty armpits was not pleasing. I was scared I would have to sit near them, as the smell was so bad I didn't think I would be able to sleep.

We got lucky though. The Kenyan team wasn't near us, and we got put on an Egyptian Air flight. It was an overnight flight, and seeing as we had only 4 hours this morning of sleep, we were looking forward to a nap.

Unfortunately that ended up not happening. THis was the most uncomfortable flight of the whole trip. The seats were so uncomfy and small - even my knees where slammed up against the seat in front of me. And something was wrong with the aircon and it was sooo hot! It was actually quite distressing being unable to cool down. A poor pregnant lady near us was in the emergency landing position, just trying to breathe!

It'll be a miracle if our bags turn up....
