first breakfast:

and a look around from my tiny balcony:

I can even see the river Nile 

(hardly to recognize but it's in the right corner behind the buildings...)

well, again some words about the quality of the pics: I'm very sorry but my camera died before I started and I had no possibility to get a new one on short notice or even let the old one be repaired. So I shoot all the pics with my mobile and hope you do not bother. I do but that's the way it is... Since I did not publish all the pics from the last trip to Cairo maybe I will show some of them too.

a little later, after strolling a bit through downtown and along the Nile

 

immediate silence, pretty surprising. This park is next to main roads but for some reason the noise is almost inaudible.

 

my flight acquaintance unfortunately had to work so we will meet Thursday or later somewhere in Germany. Instead I met a nice girl in a fast food restaurant - there were no other places, so she shared her table with me. Amal works for a ministry and talks not so much English, so we had to talk Arabic and she agreed that we meet again. I certainly will call her, it was real fun to talk to her.

And I made two sweet girls laugh very hard when they asked me if I was alone in Cairo. Because of my former trip through the Middle East I know that people usually pity you when you confess that you're on your own so I said that a friend of me stayed in the hotel sleeping. The snoring noise I made because I forgot the proper conjugation of "to sleep" for a moment seemed to be very amusing :)
