Arrived back to Cairo around 8am and upon leaving the station came across probably not the best name for an Egyptian tour group. (pictured) Declined the guided tour around the museum as they wanted us to go unwashed after a long train ride!

Met the group in the lobby for a trip to the perfume "museum" but this time we caved (so did everyone else!!) as the flower oil is the base that is sold to all the major perfumeries. We all piled in the van smelling of christ knows what and drove across town to the Khan El Khalili market. For a change I got some attention at the market from some woman grabbing my leg. Guess she dug the mixture of 8 flowers that makes CK's Eternity for men.

On our way out after the usual camel offers got a new one of only a few but for just an hour of Fishy's time. So we told her to meet us at the hotel!! Had a nice mellow evening of Chad! Chad! Chad!, Naomi, Jessica (US soldier), Little Mohammed, drinking ourselves silly and saving the world. The conversation with Mohammed was amazing as he basically explained the entire Egyptian culture and way of life.
