We arrived in the morning, and realized that the floor of the train car we had slept on for part of the evening smelled of vomit. Great. So glad we were in a sleepsack. That may need a bit of laundering now, though....
The sleeping pills hadn't worn off, even after a good 7 plus hours of the 9 hour ride, so we ended up taking a nap for a few hours after having tea back at the Nubian hostel. When we awoke, we found Suzanna in the lobby, and she invited us to have tea and play dominoes at the street cafe downstairs with herself and David. Richard and Fiona had already taken off to Alexandria, and Suzanna and David were leaving the same night for Madrid. We had tea, shisah, pizza, soda, and juice over the course of a couple hours of domino playing, feeding cats with pizza crust, and buying tissue packets from little kids who were selling them for the standard 1LE each. Our half of the evening's cost was 80LE each, which seemed fair.
To top of the lazy recovery day, we checked email, uploaded some pics with a very slow internet and USB1 connection. G went to bed, and I'm about to do the same. Until then, enjoy some pictures of Cairo, Giza, and Sakkara here:
