Alexandria

---

Kirk and I caught the train to Alexandria for a day trip. There was food on the train but of course I did not eat most of it as it was suspicious. Kirk on the other hand, having only been traveling for a few days, decided it was ok to eat the cheese. He spent the rest of the day feeling sick.

Kirk was able to man-up and we visited the Catacombs and Pompei's Tower. We then headed to the seafront. The bad cheese caugh up with Kirk who sat on the harbor wall and threw-up. His display of sickness did not stop an aggressive tout from trying to sell Kirk a carriage ride even as he was heaving his lunch into the water.

After Kirk found his wind, we set off for the Fort and then caught the train back to Cairo for our flight to Luxor.

Kirk fits in well with the other "arabs" at a cafe across from Pompei's Pillar...unfortunately Kirk ate the cheese on the train and did not feel well afterwards...
