After an uneventful flight I touched down in Cairo on Sunday afternoon. The hotel I am staying in is on the outskirts of Cairo and only took an hour and a half in the taxi to reach. I have spent the last couple of days sorting out paperwork and acquiring visa's for both Ethiopia and Sudan. I've met quite alot of the people I will be travelling with on the truck and so far (touch wood) they seem a good mix of people. Found a great little take away place near the hotel that does amazing falafel wraps and a deli with great baba ghounoush (aubergine dip) so I am very happy.
The truck trip starts on friday so the next couple of days I will be acting like a tourist and exploring Cairo and the pyramids. Next blog will be far more exciting!
