- we almost missed our flight after arguing with the EgyptAir staff
about their policy on bicycles. It turns out the policy on their
website isn't quite the same as what they teach to their employees.
So after coughing up an unexpected €65 each and then weaving our way
through all the security, we had to sprint to the boarding gate where
it was eerily quiet except for the 2 ladies checking boarding passes
waiting impatiently for us!
But apart from that its been fairly smooth, although we have been too
scared to check what state our bikes are in - we'll leave that for the
morning! Tonight we are fortunate enough to be staying at the very
nice Wyness' residence in Cairo, which I can tell you is a lot better
then wild camping!
So tomorrow we will be busying ourselves running around Cairo to the
SA, Sudanese and Ethiopian embassies to try and get some visas (or at
least get the ball rolling). Then when our fate lies in their slow
moving machinery we may be able to squeeze in some sightseeing and a
few falafels...
