Egypt, here we come...

The last 2 weeks were really nice and relaxing. We stayed in Dharamsala and enjoyed the fresh mountain air and the cooler climate!
We met up with Shalab (an Indian trekker we met in Nepal) and joined him on a 5 day trek. It was really nice to get out into nature again... That's something we really missed in India! Thanks Shalabh!
Kevin caught a cold after the trek and blew his nose so strong that he damaged something in his inner ear (the equilibrium organ doesn't like high pressure!!). The result was constant motion sickness... He couldn't walk in a straight line and felt the whole day as if he had just gotten off a 12 hour mountain bus ride...
So we had to leave Dharamsala earlier and bring Kevin down to Delhi to a hospital.
The bus ride was hell, but at least the news from the doc in Delhi were good - no infection, just mechanical damage that will heal on it's own. The motion sickness feeling got already better and in a few weeks Kevin should be completely recovered.
We spent the last few days in Delhi and waited for our flight to Cairo...
