Amazingly enough this email is coming from Paris! Who would have thought that I would actually catch the flight I was booked on from Cairo to London.
However, Karma has reared its ugly head and due to my ‘luck’ I’m fighting a cold (and losing badly – drugs help for a bit). Not much fun being sick and travelling. Last two days have been in a bit of a haze. Think I’ve managed to lose my iPod...
It’s been a few days since I last wrote but here’s a brief rundown for my memoirs.
Amman (also known as Philadelphia)
We did a quick tour of the old city.

... I’m sure something exciting happened – might have to see if Mum remembers anything.
Jerash (Antioch I think..., maybe not)
Amazing ruins – but hot day. Might have weakened immune system here – lots of loud school kids. Glad I didn’t have to teach them.

Flight to Cairo
No problems...
Flight to London
No problems... which is incredible. Got to hostel and straight to sleep. Funny seeing English in shorts/t-shirt in cold weather cause sun is out.
Join Tour and Drive to Paris
Meet tour early – instead of group of 35+ was only 15 at London, and maybe another 6/9 in Paris and more joining later. Spent trip to Dover, Calais and to Paris pretty much asleep. Not making good first impression on group.
Had a bus tour through Paris at night – luckily not too much walking. Went up Montmartre and saw the Basilica of the Sacred-Heart. Pretty impressive!
Saw all the big sites. Had a nice sleep-in and just a relaxing day. Need to come back to Paris later cause you can’t do it all in one day. Will catch Metro into city and catch up with group at Eiffel Tower later today. May go to a Cabaret show – see how I feel. Back to bed I think...
