Slept in today, hit the internet for 2.5 hours (yes there is something wrong with us - we go to Egypt to surf the web!) but also visited the Egyptian museum and the Khalili market. I think it may be the only time in recorded history that tourists at Khalili weren't beseiged by vendors as everyone was glued to the screen wathecing the soccer. Pic is a bit blurry but its a bread seller balancing his load of bread on his head as he pedals his bike down one of the lanes in khalili
Highlight was watching (on TV) Egypt win the Africa cup of Nations football tournament tonight. Egypt are the host country, so with the win the crowd both at the stadium and at the restaurant we were at went wild! Lots of happy people in Cairo tonight. Cars honking; people with painted faces smiling and shouting everywhere, more flags than you can poke a stick at; the streets are packed
