well i plan to go to egypt usually i just go on holiday in britain but last year i decided to do something special i saved money for a long time and finally i had enough money i was really excited when i booked the trip well i hope to go with a friend i didn't want to travel alone i asked lots of people to come with me but they didn't have enough money or they wanted to go somewhere else so i went on my own i didn't have enough money for a nice hotel so i stayed
in guest houses actually i think the guest houses were nicer than the hotels they were comfortable and they were in interesting parts of the city the owners were very kind they gave me information about places to visit and helped me get around well the owners at the guest house told me to get food from the market they said the local dishes there are delicious but my guidebook said that local food can make you sick and i was worried about that i didn't want to get sick on holiday so on the first night i ate in
a european restaurant i thought it was safer than the market but i got sick anyway no luckily just for a day i just stayed in bed and drank water and ate a little rice i felt better the day after well the historic sites were wonderful of course but they were very busy actually i preferred taking boat trips on the river nile it was peaceful there and the sunsets were great
