Arrival in Cairo
Monday 7 January - The flight arrived Cairo on time, no problem getting visa and through immigration, then best of all, our bicycles were already in the baggage area followed within minutes by the rest of the bags and we were on our way to the hotel within 40 minutes of landing.
Tuesday - A bit of a nostalgia walk around Cairo for Rae. Spent half-an-hour trying to find Ramses II statue. Rae pleaded that it was supposed to be in front of the train station and how could we miss something that's 200 feet tall. Turns out they removed it last year due to vibration and pollution damage. It will find a new home when a new museum is completed somewhere between Cairo and Alexandria.
Wednesday - Giza and the pyramids. The picture speaks for itself. Then it rained, believe it or not, this evening - not very warm either.

Hi Rae and Ursula:
What a treat to be able to follow your adventure, without saddle sores.
