Religion and Boats

Sue lounges outside the library in Alexandria

Coptic Cairo was clean, uncrowded and peaceful! The museum was a delight and the nearby streets featured Coptic churches of St George (Girgis), a synagogue and the oldest mosque in Cairo.

The afternoon saw us (except Martin, who was confined to bed with 'Cairo Belly') escape to the wide Nile under the sail of a feluka, sipping chilled bubbly as the sun sunk lower in the blue sky.

Then followed an evening of packing for our next adventure!


So you may not hear from us for a couple of days.
