Greetings!
We are still in Cairo but are about to head over to Ramses Station after getting a little something to eat. We are looking forward to checking out Alexandria. Pretty much every Egyptian that we've talked with says it's a beautiful, great place.
Yesterday afternoon didn't totally go as planned. The Arabesque was closed, and so we ducked into the courtyard cafe at the Nile Hilton, which was good, although expensive by local standards. Afterward, we went to Ramses Station to buy our train tickets, which was a tricky process. First, you have to figure out the proper window to go to, and then you have to communicate with an agent who basically doesn't give a damn. Our first choice of train was sold out, so we got one a little bit later in the afternoon. It's still going to be express and aircon, which I am looking forward to!
