Dinner last night was absolutely outstanding. We chose the Italian restaurant and everything we ate was fantastic. Chef came out described all the dishes and we ended up ordering different things and splitting courses so we could try more things. The chef cooked in an open kitchen and cooked everything we ordered personally.

Now we are back in our lovely room after our time in Alexandria. The library is really worth seeng. A masterpiece of design that can house eight million books. There are also two children's libraries, a library for the blind in braille and permanent exhibitions. They have special programs for handicapped children helping them to do as much as possible despite their handicap. We really enjoyed our visit.

We visited a castle that was built on the site of the famous Alexandria lighthouse. Felt like I was in Portugal with the architecture. Stunning sea and city views. They have discovered antiquities under the sea at the base of the castle. There were plans to build an underwater museum but the cost was so high the plans had to be abandoned. It is thought there are a lot of items from cleopatra's time as well as massive statues. One of these statues was raised from the ocean and placed in front of the museum.

We enjoyed a fantastic lunch of local sea bass and calamari with a stunning view of the ocean and city before returning to the hotel.

Almost everyone is arriving today in Cairo and tomorrow night we have our private sound and light show at the pyramids.

Hopefully Ken will post a few pictures tonight.
