Inner Harbor Horse N Carriage Ride

Cairo apartment Theophilus

km 147 (total 768)
rank: N 30.03977 E 31.20634

Yesterday was fun: first, a delicious breakfast at your Serówków Mariola and Gregory (also a priest came John Cooper, to popilnować our bicycles, for which many thanks!) then drive "Agriculture Road south towards Cairo. This road leads to an embankment and crosses through the green fields of the Delta. On the balk palms, the fields are cut into narrow channels and, land roads for donkeys. Houses, with space-saving, built up high, even though the village. So that the image was not too wyidelaizowany, then add that when there is a dirt road, and rural poverty, though it's dirt on the road is probably more;)
When Heather went tube, stopping just dropped us next to the football field. You need to know that in Egypt there is a football euphoria, because the Egypt game was held African Nations Cup. So me and the euphoria has suffered a little, and played with local fellahami. It was very nice, had an even one assist. And to think that Smith wrote in his letters about the inhabitants of the Delta, "swarms of people, although I'm not sure if this rustic rabble of people can be counted." You can see something has changed for the better.
tents pitched in a cafe Arab-called Giant AmrVillage. There was a cool grass, and in the evening match Egypt-Mozambique on the large outdoor screen.
To simplify your life, we say that Magda is my wife - then immediately cease any questions or concerns. This allows us also to sleep in two tents (one Magda and me) - otherwise you would have to break the three, indeed ordered a separate room for Magda in hotels. Oh, such expedition "kitchen." Today we woke up
before dawn on the assumption that we will try to get to Cairo (150km). Somewhere in the middle Peter caught the route stomach pain - it seems that yesterday's kofta with Amra he did not use. Despite this, noted that attempts to go further. Strategy adopted at the same time that he would go quickly, because if he probably just breaks down, then at least we will be a little further. Kilometers pass and Peter continue pushing 1925-1928 km / h, and this otherwise slight breeze! A couple of times stopped at this and that, but at sunset we arrived at the gates of Cairo! Then just travel, "Corniche" (went much better than Alexandria, but he was still a little brighter, and besides, everyone przyczepił Alexandria bought the lights) and come home to Theophilus. 12h journey, of which slightly more than 7h, and 146 km ride for us.
Not bad, eh?

PS On Tuesday at 10 am probably hang Nowak plate in Cairo! Welcome!
