Summary

[edit]
Description

You can't go to Egypt without visiting the Pyramids and you can't visit the Pyramids without taking a picture of the Sphinx. Having taken it it would be a shame not to post it on Flickr. Whatever it is it is most certainly in need of a nose job. The most striking thing about it is, however, just how small it is. That doesn't stop it being impressive though.

Having spent 3 years living and working in South Africa my wife decided to take a contract in The Netherlands. We could have got a direct flight but our son, who had just completed a school project on the Pyramids, said he was keen to see them. My wife and daughter were excited by the prospect as well. I had seen them twice before while in Cairo on business but you really cannot have too much of a good thing.
