Repitle Farm

Allegedly this tortiose is 150 years old, he is one of the specimins at the Reptile farm we visited after the camel market. He is half the size of jonathon!
A series of tanks helded a number of reptiles at a villa near Giza. It was interesting but not quite a farm.

A cobra! Maddy and Geoff got to hold iguanadons and tortioses but the pictures were blurred and not fit to blog.

Up a palm tree, the blobs at the top are dates

We drove past the pyramids on the way there and back, this was the best picture. They are next on the list of things to do when Richard arrives. Geoff wondered how many times we would visit them with guests until we got bored by them and just pointed our visitors in the direction of Jimmy our taxi driver and let them get on with it.

Jimmy was ill yesterday and couldn't take me to life group (equivalent to bible study (almost) or home group) so we went to Maadi Grand Mall and Geoff put me in a taxi there. THe driver nodded he knew Road 15 and off we went. However he needed directions . . . . several times, from traffic police, embassy guards, the people I was going to see (via my mobile), taxi drivers and various bodies on the street. When we arrived he asked for twice the agreed fare because he had to drive round - he didn't get it!
