We are here! The flights worked, the BA lounges at Dulles and Heathrow gave us comfy places to wait, the Egyptian e-visas were accepted, the luggage came and the transfer to to hotel was smooth. All that anxiety over the travel portion for naught – sigh. The Sheraton Cairo is fine – many floors, several restaurants, a casino and a wonderful view of the Nile from the lounges and restaurants. Showers, dinner and sleep was all we could manage by the time we got here! We came a day early and are hopefully in the same rooms for the land portion of our Viking stay in Cairo which should begin this afternoon. Eager to hear what Viking has planned for us outside of the scheduled excursions to Giza, museums etc. So, breakfast in a little bit, then a private food tour which I hope will give us a little overview of the city as well as a fun intro to the cuisine of this part of the Middle East. It’s always all about the food!
