So we spent the first night in our apt. And the verdict is mixed. The location is awesome. We can seen the sea from our balcony and we're close to some good shops and a neat market. We're really in the middle if the action. However, being in the middle of it all means its noisy. And its even noisier giving the honking and yelling that goes on at all hours. Definitely will take some getting used to.
Met our landlords. Nice and interesting people. Run the pub that is right below our apt (shockingly we cant hear the pub at all). Apparently - at least according to our landlord - its the only place in Tel Aviv where you can get cider. Lucky me. We tried it out last night and its was good stuff - made even better by the fact that we get to drink and eat for half price!
Today we got to Cairo. The day started off a bit rough becuase Tam was not feeling the greatest. But its gotten better! We have not seen much of the city yet, but did have quite the experience on the drive from the ariport to our hotel. The driving is crazy. Picture fours lanes of traffic but theres actually six crs and a motor bike squished in there. They are all constantly honking and theres no traffic singals to be seen. People have to run in between cars because theres no crosswalks. Took a video I will post when I get a chance. Nuts.
Looking forward to Egypt! Even though its a little bit colder at night than we thought (current temp...a balmy 13 degrees).
