as soon as we finished our cruise in as one we caught a train up to Luxor before getting a bus
from Luxor to Cairo and finally another train from Cairo to where we are here in Alexandria we've
only got one full day to explore Alexandria so we've decided to walk all the way to the
citadel of quait bay which is somewhere over here
google says it should only take two hours i don't know how that's the case because
it's a tiny dot but there's some really cool things we should see along the way
we're about half an hour into the walk to the citadel now so Alexandria is a totally
different city to anything that we've experienced before and it is absolutely
steeped in history also has the lighthouse of Alexandria which was the second tallest building
second only to the Pyramids of Giza when it was built and where we're going now
is where it used to be and now it has the citadel on it
we're about two hours into our two hour walk to the citadel and we've been distracted by
the bibliotheque of Alexandria which is on the site of the ancient library
and now we're in a roman amphitheatre in Egypt what
I've just been reading a couple of signs and this place confuses me even more
we're in Egypt in a roman amphitheatre that has Greek graffiti and was excavated by polish people
didn't think these romans were even here but now they're getting more and more complex we've just
found an area and read a board that said these are the baths and they used to have
temperature controlled rooms super cool so we're going to explore i hope we're allowed
that was so cool i honestly cannot believe that this is in egypt it just blows my mind i had no
idea that this was yet yeah and it's really well preserved they lived here and they worked around
here for 700 years i just can't even fathom that just nuts and then they have all these
baths that you can see like literally a roman bar the old school ones where it's like a hole
in the floor but also like proper roman baths it is not what i was expecting in egypt at all got me
so excited for our next country though but now back to the ocean so we can have a cool breeze
so close but so far
we are super close now it's about three and a half hours maybe four hours later
but it's almost touchable
it is 2:19 so we've been going for at least four
hours but we've finally made it to our end destination the citadel of Quiatbay
whoa you can see where we started
that was the citadel of Qaitbay it's so cool in there so many different rooms and
you could look out of all the windows and you just had the most amazing view of alexandria
now because we've been walking for way longer than expected it's time for something to eat
we just had a lunch dinner at the white and blue cafe restaurant we only had a pasta and
some meatballs to share but it was amazing a bit on the pricey side but it's our last
meal in egypt so we're going home now to probably sleep because we're both
exhausted from walking all day and we have an early wake up to go to our next country italy
we've only got today
