I guess it was bound to happen… The last 24 hours I have spent partly in bed, partly on the toilet… I have no idea what I caused this shitty situation, but I highly suspect some chicken from my next door grill… Due to this little incident, my return to Jerusalem via the Sinai Peninsula, has been delayed at least one day… I am much better now, but I guess I have to see how I feel tomorrow before deciding to sit 9 hours on a bus…
Today that trip was NOT doable… (The picture shows my hotel room at Lotus Hotel… or the place that I have spent the last 24 hours
)

Before I had to crawl into bed yesterday, I visited the Egyptian Museum… This is where all the mummies and pharaoh stash that they have found inside the Pyramids are on display… Huge, Hot (there is NO air condition here) and OK interesting. The most interesting part was the Royal Mummy Room, where actual mummies are on display… kinda scary, but still interesting. (Guess this place is heaven if you happend to be a boring archaeologist, in which you all know: I am not
)

Taking photos, or even bringing a camera, inside the Egyptian Museum is of course forbidden (The one you see above is sneak photographed with my phone). This they tell you after you have passed through 3 metal detectors, and suffered yourself through 3 looong lines… Then you have to go back to the entrance, deliver your camera to a woman in the “Safety deposit box booth” and return to the museum through the 3 metal detectors and the 3 even looooonger lines…
MUSEUM – ARAB STYLE that is!!
If things get better, I head for Dahab tomorrow…
