Packing and Route Tips for Climbing Kilimanjaro Packing and Route Tips for Climbing Kilimanjaro
We’ve been wanting to go to Egypt for some time now so when the chance to get away over the Christmas and New 12 months interval arose we knew we wanted to go there for a break. We joined Expat Discover on their 10 Day Explorer Tour by means of Egypt taking within the sights of Cairo, Aswan, Luxor and Hurghada.
The rationale we selected Expat Discover was that they had been the most affordable in worth with all the identical sights and in the long run we had been proud of our selection.
Pre-departure they emailed us our itinerary with the non-obligatory excursions and extra prices for entry charges included in order that we might funds correctly. In addition to following up with our pre-trip questions relating to flights, insurance coverage and uhealth and security recommendation.
From the beginning they had been very skilled. Touchdown in Cairo we had been personally greeted the day earlier than our tour and transported to our Metropolis centre resort. That drive was an eye-opener to Egypt with loopy lane adjustments, honking, swerving, flashing lights with animals, individuals and autos all over the place.
El Tonsy Lodge is your base in your arrival and final evening. Fortunately we didn’t anticipate a lot as our door didn’t lock which was a bit dodgy and the rooms had been freezing chilly with a damaged heater and just one blanket. You wouldn’t assume you would want warmth in Egypt but it surely was the center of winter and it was chilly at evening. No complaints with the placement although as we might see the Pyramids within the distance and had been solely 5 minutes stroll from the Nile and 15 minutes to Tahir Sq. (completely secure by the best way). Plus they’ve just a little bar/restaurant with low-cost meals and free Wi-Fi. Simply purchase your snacks and water from the grocery store throughout the street and you’ll get on tremendous.
It’s fairly arduous to interrupt down a complete journey into one publish however right here goes:
Day One
Your tour begins with the most effective in my view by touring some sights of Cairo. The steeply angled Step Pyramid, mind-blowing Pyramids of Giza and the smaller than anticipated Sphinx. At the present time was positively the spotlight.
That evening is spent aboard the prepare for 10-12 hours to Aswan. I extremely suggest the Sleeper prepare for an additional £50 per individual. Others that caught the usual prepare froze their butts off whereas we had a toasty sleep with a served dinner and breakfast. Sadly Expat Discover by no means advised us concerning the offered meals so we ate earlier than we bought on-board however what we might slot in was scrumptious.
Day Two
The tour splits in Aswan as one group embarks on a River Cruise aboard a 5 star ship whereas the others spend time in resorts and on a Felucca. No shock that we went with the cheaper possibility aboard the Felucca so the following few days are from that viewpoint.
The afternoon is yours at Sara Lodge on the banks above the Nile. We lapped up the attractive rays of the solar and managed to show our pasty white our bodies a extra becoming barely white shade. The Lodge was nice till the bathroom next-door erupted sending a river of smelly waste throughout our bed room flooring (throw your rest room paper within the bin not the john)! Fortunately we woke in time to rescue our luggage from the watery mess! Not the fault of Expat Discover and we didn’t blame the Lodge both as shit occurs.
Day Three
Your day begins by visiting the monstrous Excessive Dam for 10 minutes (pretty boring) and a drive previous the Unfinished Obelisk. Whereas the spotlight is certainly the Philae Temple. When the sunsets throughout the Nile reflecting off the stonework it actually is sort of magical.
The night ended with an non-obligatory dinner in a standard Nubian households home. The meals was delicious and also you higher convey your singing and dancing footwear.
Day 4
The next day and evening is spent enjoyable aboard the Felucca for a sail up the Nile for a number of hours. Sleeping not more than eight individuals you may be comfortable in case you convey your individual sleeping bag like us. The remainder of our crew had been jealous because it did get fairly chilly within the night nevertheless blankets had been offered.
With scrumptious pita bread and falafel cooked on the boat you’ll not be disillusioned with the meals both.
The day ends with a bonfire on the Nile shoreline as you sing and dance with the loopy enjoyable Nubian crews. This was positively one of many highlights of the whole journey for us.
Journey Tip: Don’t be delay by doing all of your “enterprise” amongst the reeds of the Nile. Simply benefit from the view and keep in mind to convey your individual rest room paper (which you want all over the place in Egypt anyway).
By all accounts, from the opposite tour members, the River Cruise is simply as nice with three nights on-board in snug lodging, a pool and buffets morning, midday and evening.
Day 5
Waking to a dawn breaking the morning chill is an excellent technique to begin a brand new day. Sadly there may be little time for leisure earlier than you might be off the Felucca and on a bus to Kom Ombu and Edfu Temples. I have to say, all the transportation was greater than ample with bogs on the buses and room sufficient for everybody. It’s fortunate since you do spend the vast majority of the time being pushed round.
The Lotus Lodge in Luxor was most likely the decide of all of them. Located on the Nile financial institution with a swimming pool and attractive buffet breakfast.
Day Six
Yet another day, yet another busy schedule. Speeding to beat the crowds on the Valley of the Kings it’s one other 8am begin. You’re solely allowed to go to three tombs and we suggest the guides picks which had been Ramses II, IV and IX.
Journey Tip: You’re NOT allowed to take your digicam with you off the bus. Please don’t break it for everybody by taking images as you may be charged by safety when caught.
We additionally squeezed within the crowded rock carved Hatshepsut Temple however solely drove previous Luxor Temple as we ran out of time as you want to drive 6 hours to succeed in Hurghada that evening.
Day Seven and Eight
The subsequent two days on the Crimson Sea are yours to do no matter you want so use them correctly. We joined most of our group for a spot of snorkelling and diving. The dive and the workers had been nice however the entire day appeared just a little rushed which was a disgrace. Maintain a watch out for our publish on our diving expertise in Hurghada.
So good having the ability to chill out on a seaside and skim a e-book after such a busy schedule. It’s arduous to depart and the 6 – eight hour bus experience again to Cairo is hard.
Journey Tip: In case you plan to do the tour over New Years Eve then you’ll have to depart Hurghada half a day early which sucked because it meant celebrating the New 12 months on the Lodge in Cairo. Little bit of a let down however when hasn’t New Years Eve been!
Day 9
Your ultimate day of sightseeing is spent round Cairo. Our favorite a part of the day was positively the Cairo Museum with a superb tour information. It suits completely on the finish by seeing all of the historical past close-up after having discovered about it during the last eight days.
By the point we hit the outdated space of Cairo and the Coptic Hanging Church we had been spent on historical past however our information made a great effort at maintaining us entertained.
The final group exercise is free time for an hour or so on the Khan El Khalili souk markets the place the touts attempt to prise your money from you for the final time from each nook and cranny.
Day Ten
With the tour over it’s time to go dwelling. Our flight was late the next evening so we walked across the metropolis and Souks on our personal for the day. Expat Discover offers transport again to the airport which was nice.
The Negatives
The journey was superior however we expect it’s vital to notice the little issues that would make an enormous distinction to the general expertise:
It felt like we had been all the time hungry. Perhaps it’s simply Kiwi’s and Aussies that eat on a regular basis but it surely significantly felt like we had been continually ravenous with lunches being served normally after 4pm and dinner at 9pm onwards. It could be the Egyptian technique to eat at these instances however not for us. Journey Tip: Purchase numerous snacks for the street that are very low-cost at supermarkets.
There was typically a scarcity of course in what gave the impression to be occurring. All the things is completed on Egyptian time so be affected person.
We had been usually delayed or not on time with little to no steerage as to how lengthy it could take to get from place to put. Slightly information goes a protracted was as then we will plan forward.
Extra free time can be nice to discover locations by yourself moderately than have our fingers held all over the place.
The Positives:
As we stated above, the journey was wonderful and the little constructive issues far outweighed the negatives which helped make it a memorable journey.
Pre-departure data and care was extraordinarily good.
The tour was distinctive worth for cash and it was the most affordable tour we might discover though we nonetheless noticed all the identical sights the opposite teams did.
The guides had been extraordinarily educated and by no means didn’t reply any questions we had. The insights into the day by day lives of the individuals round us was a pleasant break from all of the historical past. In addition they ensured you by no means felt unsafe or uncomfortable.
The Felucca journey was higher than anticipated and general so was the lodging and transport choices.
All in all we extremely suggest you e-book with Expat Discover in case you are contemplating a visit by means of Egypt.
Be sure to subscribe now and are available again quickly so you possibly can get pleasure from studying our new posts which is able to cowl every thing else in additional element.
Disclaimer: Expat Discover offered us with a reduction for our 10 day tour of Egypt nevertheless as all the time our ideas are all the time our personal.

Why Costa Rica is an Adventurer’s Paradise
Hola, fellow travelers! Costa Rica is positively magical. It’s a place full of adventures, which is right up my alley. We flew into San Jose, Costa Rica with Avianca Air which was very affordable ($157 from JFK, to be exact) and everything went smoothly. Instead of renting a car we decided to hire a shuttle service, Transmarin, to take us from place to place. From what we researched before the trip, renting a car in Costa Rica is not only costly but can be dangerous due to the road conditions in some parts of the country. Every shuttle driver we had was fantastic and reliable.
Jaco Beach
Our first trek was from the San Jose airport to Jaco Beach. The ride was about an hour and a half but we did hit a bit of beach traffic along the way. Our first day in Jaco was a relaxing day: hanging on the beach or by the pool and relaxing in our beautiful apartment. We stayed at “Best in Jaco Beach Front Luxury Condos” and everything about it was fabulous. The condo was right on the beach but also walking distance from all of the restaurants and bars. The space itself was gorgeous and included 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a full living room and kitchen, with TWO balconies! It was positively unbeatable.
Waterfall Tour from Jaco Beach
The next day we booked a waterfall tour with costaricawaterfalltours.com. We chose the “extreme adventurer” tour not only because we ARE extreme adventurers, but because the tour takes you to 3 different locations throughout the day. Even if you are not what you would call an “extreme adventurer” this option would still be great for you. None of the jumps are mandatory and they even have a small 15-foot jump at the first stop to ease yourself into jumping. The tour cost us about $149 per person and it was worth every single penny. Our tour guide, Mike (who was THE best), picked us up right from our condo in the morning. On the way to our first destination we stopped at a local bakery if anyone wanted a pastry or coffee to start their day. Unfortunately, our first stop of the day didn’t happen because the water wasn’t deep enough to jump into or use the rope swing due to the lack of rain they were experiencing at the time. Nevertheless, the rest of the trip definitely made up for it! Our second stop was an exquisite waterfall that even had a natural water slide! There were two jump options: the small 15-foot one I mentioned before, and a 40-foot one. The natural water slide was 33-feet, but its definitely not as scary when you don’t actually have to make that leap. I highly recommend doing both! 40 feet may sound really high but it really wasn’t that bad. The most nerve racking part for me was getting to the ledge. Mike was so unbelievably encouraging and understanding and did not pressure anyone to jump.
Before our third stop of the day we stopped for lunch at a great roadside “soda” called Soda de la Pena. I have an extremely sensitive stomach so eating in other countries is sometimes very nerve-racking for me. No one wants to be sick so far away from home! Mike placed our orders ahead of time and made sure that mine was on the “plain” side and explained my dietary restrictions to them over the phone. When we arrived, they had a table set up for all of us outside in the shade and our food was out within minutes. I honestly must say it was probably the BEST chicken I have ever had in my life. It was fresh and flavorful and everything else on the plate was delicious too. The coolest part about this soda was that all of the people that have visited have signed the walls, so we got to sign our names too. Pretty cool way to leave our “mark” in the country.
The last destination was beautiful Nauyaca Waterfalls. It was a short, enjoyable hike to the actual waterfall and swimming area. This location had 3 jumping options: 25 feet, 33 feet, OR 75 feet. Even I was not adventurous enough to do the 75-footer, but Mike casually demonstrated how to do it properly as we all watched in awe. We spent a good amount of time just swimming and enjoying the falls and it was a great way to end the day. Here is why Mike is the best tour guide EVER. Stupidly, I decided to try and bring my phone in the water to get some pictures. I have the Lifeproof phone on my case, which I love, and usually when I am around deep water I also bring the Lifeproof lifejacket. Well, while I was packing I mistakenly grabbed the lifejacket for my old phone which did not fit my new phone, so I did not have the protection against it sinking if it were dropped. “I’ll just hold my phone really right,” I thought, “it’ll be fine.” It was not fine. I dropped it. Mike watched me drop it and we both stared at each other in panic. Within seconds, Mike was diving down after it! I thought for sure my phone was gone. I had no idea how deep the water was but I knew it was pretty deep. After what felt like the longest 30 seconds of my life, Mike emerged holding my phone! We even stopped at a convenience store on the way back so I could buy a bag of rice to put my phone in. The next day my phone worked just fine again. Mike- if you ever read this, I am still eternally grateful for that!
Jaco Beach Nightlife
That night we ventured out to explore the Jaco nightlife since my birthday was the following day. We were determined to check out Tacobar, not for the tacos, but for the swing seats at the bar. Yes, actual swings instead of bar stools! After that we went to Surf Dogs, which had surfboards for tables and a really awesome bartender that we had a great time hanging out with. Jaco is a very lively place at night with tons of people roaming around and a lot of bar and restaurant options.
Arenal Volcano
The next day we were leaving Jaco behind to head to Arenal. This shuttle trip was pretty long and took us about 4 hours in all. Although Jaco was a lot of fun, we all completely fell in love with Arenal. The first time we all laid eyes upon the Arenal volcano was unforgettable. It’s HUGE and so surreal to be staring at a real active volcano. Our shuttle driver dropped us off at our hotel and we got there a little before check-in time so we hung out at the bar and had a snack before heading to our room. We stayed at Volcano Lodge and Springs and it was A-MAZ-ING. The grounds are beautiful and the property itself is pretty large. They have tons of rooms, an incredible hot springs area, a great pool, a restaurant, and you can see the volcano from almost anywhere you go. We chose a suite that had a great little backyard complete with our own personal hot spring. It was truly paradise. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel restaurant and both were very tasty. They even sang happy birthday to me and brought me a special dessert.
We dropped our stuff off in the room and we were off to SkyTrek for ziplining! They picked us up from our hotel, which was an extra $14 on top of the $77 for the zipline experience. Once again, worth every penny! We also opted for the GoPro to have some video memories from the trip, which was another extra fee. Our guides were great and they also sang happy birthday to me (lots of birthday singing for me!) at the end of the excursion. The ziplines got higher and higher as the day went on, and the higher they were, the better the view! Flying through the rainforest is definitely an experience like no other. The guides always made sure that we were safe and having fun. When in Arenal, this is DEFINITELY a must!
Ziplining
Volcano Hike
The next day we had a volcano hike in the morning and Mistico Hanging Bridges park in the afternoon, both booked through anywherecostarica.com. The volcano hike brought us to the closest point that we could get to the volcano, since it is still an active volcano. The views were gorgeous and the hike was mostly flat so it wasn’t super challenging. We got to see some cool wildlife along the way too, but nothing compares to the wildlife we got to see at Mistico!
Mistico Hanging Bridges
The hanging bridges were very cool and it was a unique way to experience the rainforest, but the wildlife definitely stole the show. We saw two different kinds of monkeys, snakes, lizards, a tarantula, frogs, a bat, tons of birds, and more. The monkeys were so much fun to watch as they swung from tree to tree and played with each other. We were so psyched to get to see them up close in their natural habitat.
Our Trek Back to San Jose
We decided to head back to San Jose that night instead of the following morning since we had a pretty early flight, so we scheduled our shuttle for the evening. Our shuttle driver, Marcos, well exceeded our expectations. Upon picking us up he was asking how we enjoyed Costa Rica and we mentioned that the only thing we were bummed about was that we didn’t get to see any sloths. Good ol’ Marcos, bless his heart, was determined to make that happen for us. During our 3-hour trek to San Jose we stopped for pizza, which we all enjoyed together on the side of the road while watching the sun set over the volcano, and stopped at 2 different places to try and find sloths. We did not have any luck at our first stop but we did find this extraordinary little frog and this picture is still one of my favorites I have taken to this day. Feeling disappointed and sad that there were no sloths there, Marcos assured us they would be at the next place, and he was right! We stopped on the side of the road and he got out of the shuttle and started looking up in the trees. As soon as we saw him motion for us to follow him we knew there must be sloths! It was hard for us to spot them at first because they sort of blended in with the trees and they were up very high, but Marcos was super patient with us and would not leave until all 3 of us said we could see them. The rest of the trip consisted of us swapping life stories, helping one another speak each other’s languages, and we were honestly really sad to leave Marcos when we got to San Juan. He was nice enough to give us his card and told us that if we are ever in Costa Rica again that we have a place to stay with him and his family. Marcos- if this post ever finds you, we absolutely love you and still talk about you all the time!
If you are an adrenaline junkie adventurer like me, Costa Rica should most definitely be added to your bucket list! One thing that was very apparent in Costa Rica is that the people are so friendly and extremely accommodating. We had a wonderful trip full of fun and adventure. If you have any other questions about Costa Rica, feel free to ask! Don’t forget to check out my Instagram @trekswithchels!

Your day begins by visiting the monstrous Excessive Dam for 10 minutes (pretty boring) and a drive previous the Unfinished Obelisk. Whereas the spotlight is certainly the Philae Temple. When the sunsets throughout the Nile reflecting off the stonework it actually is sort of magical.
The night ended with an non-obligatory dinner in a standard Nubian households home. The meals was delicious and also you higher convey your singing and dancing footwear.
Day 4
The next day and evening is spent enjoyable aboard the Felucca for a sail up the Nile for a number of hours.

With scrumptious pita bread and falafel cooked on the boat you’ll not be disillusioned with the meals both.
The day ends with a bonfire on the Nile shoreline as you sing and dance with the loopy enjoyable Nubian crews. This was positively one of many highlights of the whole journey for us.
Journey Tip: Don’t be delay by doing all of your “enterprise” amongst the reeds of the Nile. Simply benefit from the view and keep in mind to convey your individual rest room paper (which you want all over the place in Egypt anyway).
By all accounts, from the opposite tour members, the River Cruise is simply as nice with three nights on-board in snug lodging, a pool and buffets morning, midday and evening.

Sadly there may be little time for leisure earlier than you might be off the Felucca and on a bus to Kom Ombu and Edfu Temples. I have to say, all the transportation was greater than ample with bogs on the buses and room sufficient for everybody. It’s fortunate since you do spend the vast majority of the time being pushed round.
The Lotus Lodge in Luxor was most likely the decide of all of them. Located on the Nile financial institution with a swimming pool and attractive buffet breakfast.

The dive and the workers had been nice however the entire day appeared just a little rushed which was a disgrace. Maintain a watch out for our publish on our diving expertise in Hurghada.
So good having the ability to chill out on a seaside and skim a e-book after such a busy schedule. It’s arduous to depart and the 6 – eight hour bus experience again to Cairo is hard.
Journey Tip: In case you plan to do the tour over New Years Eve then you’ll have to depart Hurghada half a day early which sucked because it meant celebrating the New 12 months on the Lodge in Cairo. Little bit of a let down however when hasn’t New Years Eve been!
Day 9

Packing and Route Tips for Climbing Kilimanjaro Packing and Route Tips for Climbing Kilimanjaro
We’ve been wanting to go to Egypt for some time now so when the chance to get away over the Christmas and New 12 months interval arose we knew we wanted to go there for a break. We joined Expat Discover on their 10 Day Explorer Tour by means of Egypt taking within the sights of Cairo, Aswan, Luxor and Hurghada.
The rationale we selected Expat Discover was that they had been the most affordable in worth with all the identical sights and in the long run we had been proud of our selection.
Pre-departure they emailed us our itinerary with the non-obligatory excursions and extra prices for entry charges included in order that we might funds correctly. In addition to following up with our pre-trip questions relating to flights, insurance coverage and uhealth and security recommendation.
From the beginning they had been very skilled. Touchdown in Cairo we had been personally greeted the day earlier than our tour and transported to our Metropolis centre resort. That drive was an eye-opener to Egypt with loopy lane adjustments, honking, swerving, flashing lights with animals, individuals and autos all over the place.
El Tonsy Lodge is your base in your arrival and final evening. Fortunately we didn’t anticipate a lot as our door didn’t lock which was a bit dodgy and the rooms had been freezing chilly with a damaged heater and just one blanket. You wouldn’t assume you would want warmth in Egypt but it surely was the center of winter and it was chilly at evening. No complaints with the placement although as we might see the Pyramids within the distance and had been solely 5 minutes stroll from the Nile and 15 minutes to Tahir Sq. (completely secure by the best way). Plus they’ve just a little bar/restaurant with low-cost meals and free Wi-Fi. Simply purchase your snacks and water from the grocery store throughout the street and you’ll get on tremendous.

That evening is spent aboard the prepare for 10-12 hours to Aswan. I extremely suggest the Sleeper prepare for an additional £50 per individual. Others that caught the usual prepare froze their butts off whereas we had a toasty sleep with a served dinner and breakfast. Sadly Expat Discover by no means advised us concerning the offered meals so we ate earlier than we bought on-board however what we might slot in was scrumptious.
Day Two
The tour splits in Aswan as one group embarks on a River Cruise aboard a 5 star ship whereas the others spend time in resorts and on a Felucca. No shock that we went with the cheaper possibility aboard the Felucca so the following few days are from that viewpoint.
The afternoon is yours at Sara Lodge on the banks above the Nile. We lapped up the attractive rays of the solar and managed to show our pasty white our bodies a extra becoming barely white shade. The Lodge was nice till the bathroom next-door erupted sending a river of smelly waste throughout our bed room flooring (throw your rest room paper within the bin not the john)! Fortunately we woke in time to rescue our luggage from the watery mess! Not the fault of Expat Discover and we didn’t blame the Lodge both as shit occurs.
Day Three
Your day begins by visiting the monstrous Excessive Dam for 10 minutes (pretty boring) and a drive previous the Unfinished Obelisk. Whereas the spotlight is certainly the Philae Temple. When the sunsets throughout the Nile reflecting off the stonework it actually is sort of magical.
