Our adventures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continue....
 
Today is our last full day in Cairo and as we had booked a Nile cruise and dinner for the evening we decided that today was for us to explore with just the aid of a tourist map.
We did start our day with a taxi ride to the centre of town, where we could take stroll along the banks of the Nile, take a leisurely coffee out in the sunshine and then please the ladies by finding the shopping area. Surprise,
surprise, neither spent any money, but we did find another place that did the most delicious fresh Danish pastries and these could not be resisted. We also found our way back to the bazaar, were Joan and I managed to negotiate a good price on a hubabuba (if that's how to spell it) pipe. This was at the request of one of our Icelandic friends who had asked us to get one for him.
The evening dinner cruise was very good and very well attended by both tourists and locals alike. The buffet food was exceptional and there was more than enough for all, at least there would have been, if the locals had not tried to re-create the pyramids on their plates and then leave half of it. There was some good entertainment laid on, in particular a whirling dervish dancer who was superb and there was also one specially for the boys.
