Pick-Pocket Caught Red-Handed at the Great Pyramids

 

We’ve all heard stories about crafty pick-pockets operating at popular tourist traps. As an ancient wonder of the world, Egypt’s Great Pyramids of Giza attract millions of visitors every year, inadvertently creating a feasting ground for sketchy touts and creative pick-pockets.

As I pulled out my camera to take a photo of the iconic Sphinx and Pyramids, I was distracted by the abrasive child that was shouting at me, looking for a cash handout. I quickly refused and brushed him off, foolishly thinking we were finished.

The persistent boy circled around me and started to walk away – or so I thought.

Nicole was in the distance, also taking a photo. Her photographic vision was different than mine. She was going for the ‘child begging Cameron for money at the Pyramids’ rather than focusing solely on the famous landmarks.

Incredibly, at the EXACT moment she pushed the button he would attempt to steal my wallet.

He was unsuccessful. Actually, he was very bad at his craft and gave himself away before reaching anything of value. If you look closely at his hand, he brushes up to my wallet, which is located in my right cargo pocket. It has become a priceless photo that truly speaks a thousand words!

Although, this is still our favourite photo from the Great Pyramids of Giza.

Camel Surfing at the Great Pyramids in Egypt

 

Nicole Camel Surfing at the Pyramids

Okay. So standing on top of an unpredictable camel’s back is probably not the safest way to ride a camel, but it does make for a priceless photo opportunity!

To be honest, this unusual photo wasn’t our idea (we’re assuming there are thousands of similar “original photos” out there). We didn’t believe it when our camel guide asked Nicole to stand on the camel’s back. We actually thought it was one of those “lost in translation” moments. It wasn’t – he was serious!

It remains as one of our favourite photos from our day exploring the incredible wonder of the world. We were thankful that our camel guide showed us the best spots for taking photos, strategically eliminating the crowds and unattractive urban sprawl that surrounds the Great Pyramids of Giza. It was well worth the extra couple dollars.

Wherever you live in Western Europe you have access to a longer than average ski season. All things considered, just when you feel that you should pack away those skis for the season, late springtime snow will fall somewhere. Typically, it tends to be in the Northern Alps, or maybe in Austria and Switzerland. At times, major resorts like Val Thorens stay open up until the bitter end of May. Therefore, for ski enthusiasts everywhere, when looking for ski holidays France is the place.

The attraction about snow skiing toward the end of the season is that you will be able to take advantage of days which are considerably longer. Moreover, the sun is a bit higher in the sky and is much more pleasurable on your face as you are exploring the trails. In addition there seems to be an "end of term" ambiance and most of the parties are much more frenetic and exciting than they are in earlier season.

If those longer days aren't sufficient for you, why not consider extending your adventure by skiing through the night? This is something that’s taking hold in recent times at resorts which offer lighting. It's almost a surreal experience when you sample the opportunity to ski under the stars. Moreover, you will see that few individuals have awakened to the concept of skiing through the night up to now and you will have much more room to yourself. As you are getting your "fix" of skiing in this way, you'll be able to lie in tomorrow morning right after that apr?s-ski celebration and never worry about having to get up, to get in that line.

You can definitely find last minute ski deals available when you get near to the end of a given skiing season. Many people have to book ahead of time of course and do not have the versatility to take advantage of all of these last-minute bargains, however if you do you may expect a magical time in the French Alps, while you start getting ready for your summer season.
