Turns out I miss heard our guide...darn those accents. He said our hotel is called the Cataract Pyramid Hotel, and I thought he said Built on Cleopatra's palace (not sure how I messed that one up...). Silly me!! It is beautiful though, just look at the picture!
No problem having misheard the comment from the guide, Kelsey. Not sure how you and Mia have enough money to stay at such a hotel, though! It must be expensive. I remember traveling, walking past the beautiful hotels to my little hostels. It's so amazing how many local people you meet when you stay closer to the "street." :) One hostel in Bangkok I'll never forget: geckos all over the walls, no sheets on the beds (yay for sleeping bags), a shared bathroom but the best iced coffee I'd ever tried made by the owner of the house every morning.

ReplyDeleteI found this piece of stone under the sphinx that was painted...I took it into an artifacts museum, and they said if I give them the peice we would get upgraded to this hotel. hopefully I get this lucky in every country!!!
ReplyDeleteWow Kelsey! What a hotel. I still can't get over the fact that there are water beds!!! LZ
ReplyDeleteWell at least you misunderstood your guide for the better? See you at the sphinx tomorrow!
