Diary

I just replaced the charging port of my phone. Felt so empowering. Just for 8€ and half an hour of work. No more loose contacts. The interesting thing is that some cables were still okay to charge with but with some it was outright impossible. Attached is a photo of the old part I’ve replaced.

Watch out where you are going. Getting knocked out cold Mummification museum Crocodile and mini crocodile 🐊 Head Tomb Finally something green Let’s go to the valley of the queen’s People used to be smaller. Vibrant colors Mirrored drawings Lots of stories Devoid of tourists. Is it too hot? Arched feathers before entrances Why are the side nipples visible for every women even when she wars clothes? Side nipples Next day: 2025-08-02 ...

Luxor is a tourist city. It’s clean and there are even traffic lights. Jeremy is a crazy Ultramarathon runner. He Jan 55k and talks about running 80k in a desert 🏜️. So naturally we walked a lot in the sun. There are usually Nile tours but not in summer it’s too hot. The boats are maintained in that time. Very touristic and clean city River crossing is 50p per person ...

Today would be a chill day. Today I take the plane from Cairo to Luxor at 6:50pm. Most of the day I chilled by the pool in the water. Pool On an unrelated note I’ve seen some dead animals next to the usual trash in the streets. Today I’ve seen a dead baby kitten with insects crawling through the eyes. Cats that live in the villa The house was a French style villa. Super height ceilings and nice decor like swings sofas… Mirrors were used quite often ...

Harassment today: Pulling out hair. Some kid ran along the street and touched my hair. In the process he took some hair with him. I believe he didn’t mean to take any. Snatching a bottle. Some girl said something in Arabic to me. She snatched my bottle of water. She wasn’t asking me for money or food in Arabic I believe. She only said one sentence and snatched the bottle away. ...

Let’s go to the pyramids. Start the day with early breakfast and visualize the goal. Pyramids in the top right The minibus is 7 pounds but it’s far from the destination. Uber is super convenient to use in Cairo and it’s fairly cheap (100 to 250 pounds). Entrance fee for the pyramids is 700EGP (12.5€) for foreigners. Next two photos are just stray cats 😺😸 Society is the pyramid scheme 🔼 ...

Going to the Egypt main museum with Hisham. The building itself is a modern artistic miniature pyramid. If you want to read more about it see https://the-past.com/review/travel/the-grand-egyptian-museum-visiting-the-main-galleries/ . Of course there where more tourist than in the crowded city center. The locals have an opportunity to go in with a lower fee (4 instead of 20€). A big staricase has to be scaled to enter. Statue in the voyeur Seeing human made arrowheads that are made 700,000bc is impressive. The stones looked like obsidian and flint that where carefully hit to form the desired shape/edge. The details of most statues isn’t impressive. Considering the age of 6000years it’s not too bad. The stance of the statues is also not natural at all. It almost seemed that the artists chose the easiest portion to make the statue. Limbs where connected and pressed against the body. Sometimes the statue would be in squatting position so the whole bodies where represented by a block. Hair is crudely made by drawing ripples on elevated surfaces. Toes and hand appear elongated. Knees seem wird and faces are expressionless. The statues are usually not polished marble so they inherently lack some details. There are some statues that depict gods and tell stories. Mixing animals with human bodies is exciting. The statues depict standing humans with hats and clothes and wands marking them as rulers or gods. They don’t show the human being in their pure nude form going through some natural action. ...

Travel to Egypt with Hisham. We did fly to the tourist city called Sharm El-Sheikh. The Flight was only 60€ (origin venice). So we’d take the bus to Cairo. The mandatory visa can be acquired on arrival for 25$. The bus to Cairo wasn’t too bad. The ac was somewhat strong enough to keep it a bit chill. Let’s give you a rough overview on the time spent traveling to Cairo in this way. ...
