At Cairo (3).

Got up at 5, the chores and was ready by 20’ past 7. A light breakfast and we were off to Alexandria. Three hours of travel with a mid-journey halt for using the wash room brought us to our destination.

Was seeing the dark blue Mediterranean Sea for the first time. 

Saw the catacomb of burial heads - used by the Romans and perhaps even the Greeks to bury their dead, the memorial tower followed by a lovely lunch at Fish Market.

Then we’d gone across to the amphitheater that was excavated during the 19th century for another purpose.

On the return leg, we had a cup of coffee at the City Center Mall. Reached our hotel Pyramid’s Park by a half past 8. 

Packing was completed and we hit the sack by 10 PM.
