Egypt

So I made it! Train from Florence to rome at 6AM then flight to Egypt. Arrived and was escorted through customs and into a car that took us to the hotel where we got our rooms. Firstly I did not know that Cairo had 27 million people. It is incredibly big and busy with amazing old buildings and many buildings that look as if they are about to collapse. The nile is huge and we walked along it for a while. The air is pretty bad but there was a wind so that helped a little bit. Has some similarities to Tunisi but Tunisi had a large French influence while Cairo is alot more like what I thought Africa would be like. Someone already tried to pull the "Abdul" con but I knew what was happening as soon as he said he wanted to show me his brothers shop. Left hi behind quickly. Alot more women in full burkas here, even black gloves and cloth over any exposed area. Food looks and smells excellent. Our hotel has a restaurant on top of the 10th floor thats open until 1AM so I will get to chill and look out at the city. Tomorrow we head to the pyramids!
