In a galaxy far far away...

Actually, just Nothern Africa. Yep! I'm writing from Cairo.

So, after the flight(s) from hell, we made it... but man, NEVER fly Olympic Air. It sucks. After having our flight from Toronto to Athens cancelled, we had to take a later one. Of course that was 6 hours later, and then we had a 45 minute (2 hour) stopover in Montreal in which we weren't allowed to get up from our seats.

So after seeing the exciting mall near the airport in TO we FINALLY left. Yeah, the flight attendant was surly... like REALLY surly. The plane was dirty, the food crappy, and they dont tell you things like, oh yeah, you have to turn on the movie yourself. Stupid Olympic Air. Got into Athens too late to actually go anywhere... mmm... Athens airport.

Made it to Cairo okay though. Its such a cool place. Hugh, but the shops are crazy, we went to the Kahn (market), and saw the Cairo museum. Mostly just wandered around and stuff though... smoked a shisha though... mmm sooo goood. Bringing at least one of those home! Don't worry, just cherry flavoured tobacco... no wacky tobaccy for this kid.

Anyway, can't tell all my stories now, gotta save some for home! Merry Christmas.
