Chaotic Cairo

Cairo is quite a mad place. HUGE...18 million people or thereabouts. BUSY...streets full of taxis tooting their horns. BUT FUN...

We arrived late and slept in the next day. We went for a wander but didn't stray far from the hotel. In the evening we went to a "light and sound" show at the Pyramids. It was very good. A spectacular show with some great technical effects.

The next day we did a day trip to Alexandria. That's on the mediterranean. Quite built up and a bit of a summer get-away for Egyptians and some Europeans. An interesting day although 3 hours drive each way.

We're off to a dinner cruise on the Nile tonight. Doesn't that sound amazing! I hope it is!
