Egypt-Habibi (19 February: Alexander)

Arrival at Hotel last night was 23 points, the night after a busy street, the street is still crowded, dilapidated housing, shabby confusion of road vehicles, is to give my impressions in a hurry.

Morning wake up, go to the rooms of the lawn looked around a central, hazy, originally a fog.

Go to the restaurant stroll round the back to the lobby, waiting for the 8 o'clock to Alexandria. Time to the vehicle has not come yet, the original notice because of fog as the fleet to ensure safe will delay departure time, is indeed the nation tourist, think thoughtful attention to detail.

8.30 mist is dispersed, 2 and a half hours by car quickly leap into the past, the Eastern Mediterranean was my eyes.

Alexander city known as the "Eastern Mediterranean bride", located in the Eastern Mediterranean South Shore, the Nile Delta in the Northwest corner, left-220 km/h. 332 years b.c., young Greece Macedonia Emperor Alexander the great conquered Egypt in the Eastern Mediterranean, opposite to the Ross island by coast on this block, as he named port city, as the East-West trade exchanges.
