my blog is collecting dust!

acu and safeia

as what the malay's will say if u havent visited a place for a very longtime...its called 'bersawang'..and my blog is one of the place thats full of sawang sawang up til yesterday.

But i have a very good reason for letting my blog 'bersawang'..my lovely parents came to visit us in cairo for a week...i wish they had stayed longer but the fact that my dad actually leave work to come here for a week was good enough....so for a week..i really felt like i was back in my home in KL...with adek around..it as the 1st time in a long time that we are a family again as 4! and it made me very happy :).

roman ampitheatre

they had a week to spend with their cucu and also to see cairo so we took them to Alexandria for a day trip which was excellent. Alexandria is 220km from cairo, with a reasonable speed you will reach alex in 2 hrs. We got there at 9am on a friday and it was soo quite...we headed to the roman amphitheatre in the middle of the city. It was pretty amazing to see some roman ruins here, most of the pillars a gone but the some are still intact and they are still exvacating!!! next stop was the catacomb....this i like alot...its a roman underground tomb!...if u have kids like my bubbles...its not recommeded unless u have a detector!!!...its a spirally steps all the way to the tomb ad once ure in thre..u have this little little corners and hole that u have to watch as u walk thru. It was actually like a little maze. Unfortunately...theres ure not allowed to take any photos inside...so if u wanna see how it looks like click here.

Down the road from the catacomb, is the Pompey Pillar. Its basically a pillar that sticking out from a little hill. Not much to see....theres 2 shpinx guarding it. We had a really nice lunch at The Fish Market on the Cornish. It has a beautiful view of the sea and the town by the sea. Since we have been here, we hardly try any fish coz i dont know what fish to buy..most the time its seabass and seabass...with ayah around...he's picked up all the fishes for us...hahaha...so now i know what are the names for the other fishes..:P after lunch it was around 4ish..so drove to Qaitbay...to go for a stroll by the sea. It was heaps of ppl...and the wind was blowing hard and the waves are crashing in. Very cold!! We drove back to cairo when the sun started to go down...everyone was tired..esp the baby and the grans..hahahha. It was good day trip.

Us at the pyramids of Khefren

or the tours in cairo...i hired a tour guide and a minivan for us to go sightseeing...i think thats the best way to see cairo and it was good for me since ive been travelling in egypt with my lonely planet as a guide. Thanks fto Mbak Mira, she reccommend her travel agency to me..Mr Muhammad Masri, its was good deal i think...for a 2 days trip...i only forked out 550 l.e for a minivan and a tour guide ( of course i paid extra 150 l.e for the guide and driver at the end of the trip just becoz they were good and very patience ) and its a door to door service!

the three pyramid at Giza

In Citadel

in two days...they managed to cover...the pyramids,museum,citadel,old cairo, coptic cairo and khan khalili...they almost the whole khan...:D...and addition to that..one of my office mate sharez was here in cairo with his family...and they have a little cutie pie name Qistina

qistina and safeia
