July 31

LONG bus ride to Cairo through the Sinai - 9 hours or so - through Sharm, under the Suez Canal and into Africa (my 4th continent)

Arrived around 7pm at the Carlton (payed too much for taxi but not too bad) Emailed Diana. Egyptian museum and the Nile tomorrow - find out how to call Diana then

(met more interesting people: an Egyptian who wants to move to Canada despite the cold, a Puerto Rican who just returned from Aswan, some Germans - but glad that the last long bus ride is over)
