We left Ballarat on the 17:25 bus on Friday afternoon and met 4 others at Tullamarine. We had a good flight in an Emirates A380 - lots of people but still lots of leg room. Dubai for 3 hours and picked up another 6. Got held up for 2 hours when someone took sick on the plane and had to have them and their luggage removed. Then on to Cairo. We were lucky to have a window seat and took some pictures coming across various deserts and water.
Cairo is a huge city, very crowded and chaotic traffic. So here we are paying a fortune for Internet and getting ready for our High Tea.
It was more like a ground level afternoon tea. Then we took our bus through the main city square where the big demonstrations took place to a falafel restaurant where Jimmy Carter once ate and stuffed ourselves.
Back at the Marriott now to tidy up and get ready for a 6:15am wake up call.
Good to know you have arrived safely. Those big planes (A380's) are the only way to fly we reckon. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWhy look at the Suez Canal when you've looked at all those locks in Tasmania? Isn't it just the same as watching water come out of a tap?
