Have just filled out the renewal form for my passport, have been meaning to do it for a while but it involved digging out my old passport which I have finally done.
Have also been doing a bit of research into what to do on the free day that I will have in Cairo. Have another idea up my sleeve now as well as the one I already had. 
Have decided another thing I could do (with the help of a guide as there's no way I'd go by myself) is go to the Khan el-Khalili bazaar which is very famous and I didn't see last time. Have found that there are tour guides who do day tours of Cairo where you can plan what you want to do and are not massively expensive as I had also seen a 2 hour felucca trip on the Nile in Cairo which would be nice to do as well.


Other things I have done a bit of research into are the optional Nile dinner cruise in Cairo and Nubian village visits that you can include on the Insight tour. Nile cruise includes Belly dancer and by some accounts a whirling dervish dancer as well, have seen the belly dancer before but not the whirling dervish so that would be interesting.  Also like the idea of cruising the Nile in Cairo at night for all the city lights, oh the photo opportunities!
The best was still to come though, it looks like on the Nubian village visit they have baby Nile crocodiles, although looking at some of the photos they look more like juvenile ones than baby ones - and you can hold them. Bring it on!!! :) Will have to make sure that if this does happen I get someone to take a photo to prove I've held a crocodile.
