Well what can I say......after our 14 hour flight to Cairo we were all a little delirious, most of us having had very little sleep! We were all running on adrenilin and emotions. On our arrival we went straight to the "bank" where we paid our US$15 and received our visa stamps, changed some money, went through immigration and were met by our Kumuka Representative Mohammed. Everything went as smooth as silk through at the Airport which was great and on arrival at the Pyramisa Hotel we were pleasantly suprised. None of the buildings look to flash from the outside in Cairo, but when we stepped inside the Pyramisa we were suitably impressed. This five star hotel was great! A few of us went for a stroll around the local streets near the hotel then we hopped in a taxi (boy that was exciting!!!!!! whoa) and went downtown for a shopping experience followed by some local cuisine at the Felfela takeaway. Kebabs - awesome and cheap. The place was full of locals - good sign. On our way back we had a driver who had no idea where he was taking us...he had to ask several locals and all the while Cathy one of our girls was telling him the directions, but he just wouldn't listen. Pyramids tomorrow.
