This morning we went to old Cairo, the Citadel, two famous churches and a synagogue. When we entered the Coptic Church a mass was taking place. We stood in the back for about five minutes. The church was full and the priest and Deacons were chanting. A strong smell of incense in the church. It was interesting.

We are having lunch at the Four Seasons today it is a fabulous menu put together for us so should be very nice.

Tonight we took a water taxi for the main journey to the Egyptian museum. It was great to see Cairo from the water it gives a different perspective. It was a little windy but great fun. When we went to debark a boat came up behind us it was local Cairo TV. They wanted footage for tomorrow's nights show of tourists using this new water taxi service. They interviewed Henry and two of us and then pictures of us all and we will be on TV tomorrow night. We are going to watch it on the boat.

Amazing to have the museum completely to ourselves. It makes a person feel pretty special. It is an amazing place. Being able to take pictures in the museum was great. The only place for no pictures was the mummy room and the special room of King Tuts exhibition.

We had an exceptional lunch today we wish we had a camera. Seafood salad was beautifully served with shrimp, scallops and calamari with a great sauce. Then a tasty mushroom risotto. Followed by either salmon or filet of beef and tiramsu for dessert. We were the only ones in the italian restaurant as it was a private lunch. I think that was the biggest filet I have ever been served and cooked perfectly medium rare.

So we split a room service club sandwich and that was all we needed.

Tomorrow LUXOR.
