Cairo, Egypt

Kim and I landed in Cairo this morning around 6:30am after a 10 hour direct flight from Singapore. We were lucky to get bulkhead seats which made the flight much more enjoyable. We visited the Egyptian Museum and the Khilaly Market today.

The Museum was massive and had stuff dating back ~3000 BC. Its pretty impressive looking at statues, figures, drawings, and carvings that are ~5000 years old.

The Khilaly Market was also pretty fun. The constant "Where are you from?", "I have what your looking for", "take a quick look" gets annoying fast but everyone is pedalling the warez in hopes that you buy from them.

We didnt brave the food at the market and opted for a nice, relaxing lunch outside at the Marriott. It was 75 degrees F and dry as the desert and made for a very nice day outside.

We're currently sitting at the Cairo airport waiting for our flight to Sharm El Sheikh to go diving. We'll dive for the next 3 days then return to Cairo to visit pryamids in Giza, take a tour down the Nile, and see the rest of Cairo.
