... not. It is reception telling us that our ride to go to the train station is waiting for us in the lobby. There is no time for breakfast as we are off to the main train station in Cairo to catch the 8 AM train to Alexandria. <br><br>The train is as cold as ice and you can see your breath. The seats are comfortable and recline, and service is like the airlines with coffee and other refreshments offered first followed by a purchase meal if desired. The coffee ...

... Engy has a Masters in Egyptology, enough enthusiasm to sink a felucca and an outgoing personality. We decided that this was to be our day to be amazed as amazing appeared to be Engy's favourite adjective. The museum was terrific and much better set out than the museum in Cairo. Not so many exhibits but they were well labelled and lit. With Engy's assistance we learnt about the Pharaonic period, the Greco- Roman period and the Coptic period. This gave us a great ...

... have been extraordinarily friendly. I have no sense of personal danger. The security here is very high. You can see substantial western influence in dress. Many men wear suits. All the bodyguards wear suits. Our guide wears jeans and tennies and a heavy jacket even when we are in shirtsleeves. He thinks it's cold. It was 21 degrees Celsius yesterday. What's that?

The drive up the Corniche next to the Mediterranean is one huge photo op: lined with high rise apt. buildings; stores, hotels, restaurants; busy streets. The taxi's are black ...

... laissant par exemple mon sac à disposition de tous hier soir, sur le bateau, le temps d'aller me chercher à bouffer. Entre les uns faisant la prière, les autres en rond pour manger et ceux qui dormaient par terre, j'avais une carte postale finale assez sympathique d'un pays qui a surpris mes attentes mais dont la beauté a bel et bien fini par me parler.

... massive library is a bold piece of modern architecture that looks completely out of place amongst the decaying urban landscape around it. Nicole and I couldn&#8217;t analyse it for too long though, as we had to hurry back to the railway station to make the 7pm return train to Cairo. There were a few anxious minutes as we had to sprint the last stretch, but we made it. Barely. <br><br>Our last evening was spent standing outside Gad enjoying a ...
