Travel day started at 330 in Los Angeles. Up early to make our flight to Newark, the day started before the sun.
All and all the day was easy and uneventful. We arrived in Newark as our flight to Munich was beginning to board.
We had a longish layover in Munich, so we opted to spend some time in a nearby village, Erding. A beautiful Bavarian village, Erding was a nice way to spend some time and stretch out our legs.
Anther uneventful flight from Munich to Cairo had us landing at a little before 6 pm local time, a full 24 hours after leaving LA. Exhausted, as I somehow managed to only sleep during the shortish flight between Munich and Cairo, we met one of the tour guides and hopped on a private bus to the hotel.
There are no words to describe the traffic in Cairo. None. Lanes are suggestions, 4 lane highway often has as many as 7 cars abreast. Random cars with no lights on at night. Constant cacophony of honks. It really is indescribable.
After a long day of travel, all of us feel quickly asleep, anxious for the start of the tour.
