I left Nairobi early (3 am) in the morning. The flight was fine. In Cairo, it is clearly summer. The heat is intense, and the traffic non-stop. Street crossing, is a brave act in this city! It is a big city with all the 'big-city-chaos' very evident in the shops, traffic, and people frequenting the shops and markets. I shall be here till the end of the week. I hope to have enough confidence by then to be able to cross a street on my own. As the taxi driver said to me on the way to the hotel; "Let me tell you the rules about Cairo; first the streets... there are no rules; no rules" he repeated.
Winston Churchill had several meetings here with the dignitaries involved in the war. This visit to Cairo is to experience the city. I hope to see some of the sights here.
