As soon as anyone mentions the word 'Egypt', the first thing most people think of are the Pyramids.

Are they really all they're cracked up to be though?

In Latvia, where I am at the moment, I get very few English language TV programs and most of them are from the Discovery Channel whose entire output seems to comprise:

1. Sharks
2. Nazis
3. People buildings bikes or cars while screaming at each other
4. The Pyramids

I must admit that I am a bit sick of all of these topics by now, which has rather put me off the Pyramids. But it does seem a bit bad to live a few hours away from one of the Wonders of the World and not go and see them.

So what did you think about them those of you who saw them?
