Key moments from the day:
Supermarket shopping supervised by mrs wadet and accompanied by the police.
2 lunches and no dinner due to misunderstanding. Luckily we had supplies leftover from our first lunch!
Olives marinated in salt and lemon from the farm of a lady who spent the day with us.
Singing the world song beside the Nile on request of our guides whilst waiting for training to start.
Getting told off by the locals for shouting and making too much noise during shouty shouty game.
El Morshedat is Arabic for Guiding.
Inta haroof = you’re a sheep, learned whilst playing the herding sheep game.
Sparabic; kate’s Arabic version of pigeon english.
Discussion about female emancipation for the millennium development goals infront of the mosque and interrupted by the call to prayer; somewhat of a surreal experience but we didn’t seem to cause any offence.
Police escort not arriving to collect us after training so the girls with us organised a mini bus. Unfortunately we didn’t have our police escort so after trying to flag down police on the street and failing we headed back to the hotel. Fine for us but our guides got in to trouble with the policeman outside the hotel.
