[@wellardsmith3629]

Oh my! That lunch show... oh la la.😊

[@janetdiaz3463]

Enjoyed watching your video of Egypt. My daughter's fiance is from Egypt and we hope to be able to visit one day. This look like a long tiring day for you guys but most enjoyable.

[@andyandkirstie]

It was a great day and we're so glad we got the opportunity to visit.

[@christineguise689]

great video the pyramids and sphinx are amazing 😻

[@andyandkirstie]

Yes, it was a great day. It was just a very fast pace around the pyramids. Could have done with longer to really take it all in.

[@jonesboy201]

Brilliant vlog. An early rise for you guys. I really expected to see the two of you up dancing when the belly dancer edged towards you. The look on your face 🤣

[@andyandkirstie]

😂

[@KenGoesCruising]

Brings back memories of our 2 visits to Egypt. We went from Port Said and had lunch in a palace in Cairo. Thanks for this we only have stills from our visits.

[@andyandkirstie]

Glad you enjoyed it. Another bucket list destination ticked off!

Thanks so much! 😊

[@ThemeParkBazza]

[@andyandkirstie]

😆

[@quicksesh]

Loving your videos ... was thinking of a solo cruise with Celestyal and now I have seen your videos I definitely think I will give it a go 🙂

[@andyandkirstie]

Awesome!

[@lorenzomag100]

Such a great vlog from you both..I'd love to see the Pyramids one day

[@andyandkirstie]

It's definitely one of those 'must see' destinations.

[@juliepickles3394]

Beautiful vlog Andy amazing pictures I thought you would have tried some belly dancing 💃🏻 😂😂😂 can't wait for next week who's your winner in strictly 🙋‍♀️👋😄😄😄👍💃🏻🕺hope you both have a lovely weekend 🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅

[@andyandkirstie]

Thanks, it was a great day! No belly dancing this time, maybe next! Not sure about Strictly, looking forward to watching the final though.

[@tarniaadams8428]

Ps : Kirsty , your green/white jumpsuit is beautiful , can you say where you bought it ?

[@andyandkirstie]

It's from Apricot. It was in the sale probably because it was very long. I just got the hem taken up a bit. It's so easy to in and out of as I find some jumpsuits a bit of a nightmare.

[@catherineb6561]

That looked amazing. Was suppose to sail there many years ago but it was cancelled due to "uprising" of some sort

[@andyandkirstie]

Sorry to hear that. It's definitely one of those bucket list destinations.

[@kennethgrindrod6438]

That was one hectic day

[@andyandkirstie]

It was a good 13hrs long. Plus I wasn't feeling 100%, so was absolutely wiped out by the evening. It was great though!

[@rparker2824]

Nice job on your editing

[@andyandkirstie]

Thanks!

[@peteiswriteingnow]

Come on Andy you know you enjoyed the belly dance.

[@andyandkirstie]

It was OK. 😉

[@raebirchall7896]

My grandfather was in the army in Alexandria in 1930 and we have photographs of him and his army pals right at the top of the pyramids they were allowed to climb them back then before they became such a tourist attraction health and safety alone would not allow that today. The sphinx was just being dug out then as well and his photos of that have scaffolding all around it.

[@andyandkirstie]

That's amazing!

[@cathieschmitgal5515]

Amazing excursion! Just curious what was the temp most of the day?

[@andyandkirstie]

It was about 24°c, so not too bad.

[@chrisbull6244]

I’ve done the same drive from the port to Cairo. Did you have a security detail at front and back of the coaches as these attitude change over a cave on the 2 1/2 hour trip to the Town this is over 30 years ago now so it may have changed.

[@andyandkirstie]

Yes, we did have security. We had a guy on the coach with us all day, who also tagged on when we were walking about and also a police escort.

[@BrainzIOW]

Another great video, thanks for sharing. Were you allowed right up to the pyramids or did you have to stay at a distance? Loved the quick bit of drone video. What’s that from your drone? Any problems flying around close to the pyramids? PS. Good that you looked a little healthier in this video, I guess you were getting over your shingles by this point?

[@andyandkirstie]

Yeah, we were able to get right up to the bottom of the pyramids. You just can't climb on them. Definitely no drone flying, resorted to stock footage for that one shot. Shingles rash was definitely clearing up at that point, but unfortunately, I didn't realise at the time that I had developed acute anterior uveitis in my right eye. My sight was getting worse. Still on steroid drops, but pretty much 100% now, thanks!

[@MrPants1970]

I dread to think what happened to,your sausagy thing when that belly dancer approached the table! 😂

[@andyandkirstie]

😂

[@2dads3cats]

Often wondered if schlepping from Alexandria to Cairo on a bus would be worth it. It appears that it is. They let you fly a drone by the pyramids? Great vlog!

[@andyandkirstie]

Thanks! The journey sounds long, but actually didn't seem that bad at the time. No drone flying. Stock footage.

[@Merritt7278]

Looked a great day even though it was long, on bucket list. Great video,why was they taking photos with Kirsty? Did they think she was famous because you was filming her ?😂😂 Oh that belly dancer was top draw, no wonder you pulled a face.

[@andyandkirstie]

No idea why they wanted the selfies. Yes, entertainment was good!

[@quicksesh]

probably the red hair .... as thid has more than just cosmetic significance: in ancient Egypt people with red hair were associated with the deity Set, the slayer of Osiris, and the name of Ramesses II's father, Seti I, means "follower of Seth".
