The Suez Canal
The
VIP bus leaves Hurgada at 10AM. It is air conditioned, roomy and there is
even a movie in English with Arabic subtitles, Entrapment with Sean Connery
and Katherine Fine-Ass-Jones. We trek thru the desert along the Red Sea
and before we begin to head west back towards Cairo we see ships lining
up to cross the Suez Canal fact:The Suez Canal is Egypt's number one
source of income, after Tea we arrive in Cairo, our bus stewardess tries
to rip us of for the tea and food, but at this point I've had it, so I put
my foot down, get back some of my money, but she still gets over.
We return to our hotel in Cairo and curiously the price has gone up
since our last visit only four days ago. Talk about inflation! So we decide
to leave and head upstairs to the Dahab hotel on the roof, Jabba the Hut,
our previous landlord sends his sidekick to run up the stairs while we
take the elevator to get commission on our stay. We tell Dahab's front
desk that we
arrived on our own and to erase commissions and lower our rates, a brief
battle of the words between the hotels, us, and Jabba ensues and in the
long run Jabba looses. We check in and hit the streets for food, photo's
and adventure.
