Randoms in and around Alexandria

Alexandria is pretty easy to get to and makes a decent day or weekend trip. Below are some random photos from two trips to the area.Chrissie and I went up with a friend for the day and dropped Chrissie off at the airport on her way to Dubai for Christmas. Alex was sort of chilly and always pretty at night. Way to much seafood was eaten, as often happens when you go to restaurant where you buy it by the kilo. No one really needs to eat or even share a kilo of calamari, but you might need a kilo of shrimp. Just a thought.

On the way to Alexandria there is a weird African Safari Zoo which I visited and posted pictures of. Well, it turns out there is a different one of the way back from Alexandria!

Visitors to the African Motel and Safari sit in their cars and drive through each exhibit, sort of like Jurassic Park. I got to feed a hippo, a monkeys climbed on the car and wiped their monkey butts on the window, a hyena attacked (briefly and without conviction), and a Zebra nibbled apples of the windshield. Only in Egypt.
