    Arrived in Cairo

    March 30 in Egypt ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    We’ve arrived in Cairo safe and sound. Two great flights with China Eastern. Couldn’t fault them. Managed to get exit rows for the first leg to Shanghai, but had to put up with cattle class seats from Shanghai to Cairo. We got picked up from the airport and delivered to our hotel. The driving here in Cairo is actually worse than in India, it’s CRAZY!! We saw 3 pyramids on our way, so surreal and blowing already. We spend the day at The pyramids of Giza, Sphinx, and the GEM museum tomorrow. A big day, but can’t wait to get these legs moving again after sitting for, what felt like, an eternity.Read more
