After the amazing sights of the Pyramids our second day of sightseeing involved learning about Islam, visiting a Mosque, seeing how Papyrus scrolls are made and taking in the sites at the Cairo museum to name a few.
I am so glad 
we have come to Egypt during the winter time. The weather is actually a perfect 20 degrees Celsius or just below and I don’t really have to be conscious of covering up as there is no overwhelming heat to put up with. In Egypt you are not really forced to cover your self up, however as a female you would probably receive some unwanted 
attention. I think I have lost count of how many times local men have said ‘lucky man’ to Josip and it’s only our third day here.
Around 94% of Egypt’s population is Muslim and most of the rest are Coptic Christians. The Mosque we went to visit is the Mosque of Muhammad ‘Ali Pasha which was built between 1828 and 1848. Perched on the summit of the citadel, this Ottoman mosque, the largest to be built in the first half of the 19th Century, is, with its animated silhouette and twin minarets, the most visible mosque in Cairo.

was the longest we’ve had since flying from Singapore to Europe. So when we arrived in Cairo we were so wrecked and Mel was grumpy 
due to the crappy food on the plane. We were greeted by our tour guide at the airport and taken to our hotel and explained all that we would be doing in the next two weeks.
while we were walking through the snow it was so amazing. I managed to take some video footage but was shaking a bit as I was so excited. We then tried to run through snow that was like knee deep but of course it was to much hard work for me and I almost dropped dead. And of course there was no way we would catch up with the light footed creatures. Jos took some cool pictures which are below:
to see that there was no snow but it definitely was 
chilly. As usual our adventure in Karlovac always starts off with some food and hugs from family.
that is smeared all over the city floor and I’m sure on everyone’s expensive Italian shoes. Besides the dog poop problem it is quite an intriguing city and you can easily get lost through the small narrow streets.
