Four Days in Cairo

We landed in Cairo at around 2:45am, so needless to say I was rather tired. Our flight was possibly the most turbulence filled flight I have ever enjoied. This was likely do to the fact that our plane made a Cessna look like a jumbo jet. It was basically a flying minibus. Nice and bouncy. At one point I looked out the window and observed the engine sort of flapping round on the wing. After that I decided just not to look back there. We flew from Istanbul, spent the day in Athens and then flew to Egypt. I mention this because I feel I should get some kind of award for eating 3 meals in one day, each on a different continent. But I digress.

Upon emerging from the airport we were sized opon by several thousand taxi drivers, each trying to stuff us into there cars. After extracting myself from them (I did this by yelling at them loudly in Russian), we found a rather official looking personage who I was able to make a deal with.
This man in turn handed us over to an extremely disreputable looking driver, who drove us to "dowen towen" at a speed which I approved of.
We got a room at a decent hotel/hostel thing, which was a good thing as I proceeded to die, and did not move from my bed for 3 days. Must have been the mixture of the food from 3 continents in one day. Probably caused so kind of toxic chemical reaction. I emerged rather timidly from my room on the third day after our arrival. While I was sick I discovered that my camera also had a recorder on it, so I've started making audio logs. This suits me well, as I'm far to lazy to write consistently, and, as anyone who's met me know, I love the sound of my own voice. (I cant help it) Below is a log I did for my first* four days in Cairo: (*out of bed that is)
