We decided to go again just to witness the awesome majesty that is Giza, with a little more focus on the Sphinx this time. Yesterday, I ran out of batteries just as we were rolling up to the Sphinx and Jonny had flat-out forgotten to bring his camera. So, we left the area to get batteries and couldn’t get back in because the place starts closing at 4, which the stupid guides hadn’t told us.
Anyway, so this time we didn’t hire any guides. We bought our tickets and walked all over the place. We went down inside one of the greater tombs and saw the sarcophagus of Khufu’s son, Khafre. We strolled over to the Sphinx and got up-close and personal. Jonny brought his camera. I had extra batteries. We took lots of videos this time which are uploaded below. Even on the 2nd day I can’t get over how incredible this place is, it just blows my mind.
Later on we went back to the Bazaar to experience the market at night, always with the shopping… We had some gnarly food at a restaurant recommended to us by a Saudi man from the hookah place. When we got back to our hotel, Jimmy and I created a drinking game called sockball (with Jonny’s used sock), which we played in the living room and Jonny recorded. I was horrible at the game, and so got incredibly drunk (which only made it worse), but I’ll never forget sockball. Jimmy won 16-1, which was the worst beating anyone had ever received in the history of sockball..
Pictures and video clips below. Enjoy~
