As a last thing to do in Egypt we had to tick off Alexandria. We cannot live here for two years without seeing it. So we jumped on the train Saturday morning, and checked into the Four Seasons hotel situated by the Corniche. Pure luxury! In great contrast to most things in Egypt. The hotel provided us with a limousine for a quick tour of the sights. "My Name is Mohammed, and I will be your driver for the next three hours. You will find water provided for your comfort, and softened wet towels by the seats if you wish to freshen up. The temperature outside is now 22 degrees, and I have set the car temperature to 20 degrees. Is that comfortable for you? If you look in the small black folder in the back you will find a selection of CDs if you would prefer some music. In the large black folder you will find an update from the larger international papers on todays headline news." Enjoy the ride...... Hmm. I could get used to this!!! Bibliotekia Alexandria, check, That big fort at the end of the Corniche, check, now drive us back to the hotel so we can enjoy a cool drink by the pool and watch the sunset!!! Ahhhh....... I am afraid we got too comfortable by the pool, so we never bothered to check out the private beach situated in front of the hotel. Well, we can't have it all....
