... decided to take a tour which would show us the sights of Cairo, we had a guide and a driver for the day.  The Juliana hotel staff are really helpful and helped us organise all this, their breakfast was not that great though - it was bread rolls ...

We arrived here from Ohrid after an uneventful trip. This is the second place we did not book accommodation in advance and wouldn't you know it - the tourist information office was closed permanently, now a storage area, and there wasn't the usual gaggle ...

... the boat had even tied up and they were poking their heads down into the boat windows – offering transport, and handing out hotel brochures.   Forget about having 2 mins peace as you grab your bags and collect your thoughts.  It all ...

... in the end i think. He takes us to a belly dance club that his uncle by marriage owns. It was on the 7th floor of another hotel. They didn't start dancing till 11:30, and we got a new dancer every 30 min and they got better as the night went on. We ...

Got in around 4 PM.  Me and my travel buddies Dave and Kevin took an interesting ride from the airport to the hotel.  We then took a dinner cruise on the River ...

Well after 18 long hours of travel we made it. We landed about 9 pm local time last night. and made it to the hotel about 2 hours later. The traffic here is AWESOME....its total chaos!!!! people and cars everywhere, 5 lanes of traffic on a 4 lane ...

... the going rate for him and his air conditioned car was US$35 for the day. We had a selection of drivers that worked with the hotel. I wanted to use the driver called "Mr Long Touch" but Bun was great although didn't make me laugh every time I said his ...

... Shop.  Whilst waiting for Troy I walked around and took photos.  We met up and had a gelato and walked back to hotel.  Valletta is a gorgeous place and walking the streets it seems strange that a lot of the apartments are empty.  Its ...

... vie. How we arrived at such a crazy itinerary was that we were invited to tag along with the Arequipa hostal´s proprietors, Juliana and John, and another American who´d been staying with them since June, a retired Marine, Capt. Frank "Broadfoot" ...

... to 1401 (the oldest hospital in Spain) and looks more like a church than hospital. On the way to the restaurant the next night, Juliana slipped on her broken heel and slid down the street on one knee (it looked like I was doing a prolonged lunge). Paul ...

... , and were going to go back to the hotel to watch Italy vs. Brazil. When we got the bill, it was only 18 euro. Apparently, Juliana did not understand the waitress, and we were supposed to keep track of what we ate. Oh well, we got a bargain. Italy lost, ...

... the noise. This was an exceptionally noisy place! I decided to relax at the hotel before meeting Katie at her hotel (Juliana). Finding the Juliana turned out to be more tricky than I had anticipated. Never was a map more needed than in Cairo! ...
