The hotel cat was waiting for me at breakfast, hoping to lick the cheese wrappers and maybe have a bit of omelette. How has she managed for the last 7 months?
I found some cash in an ATM. This year's limit seems to be a single withdrawal of EGP4000 at a time. That should last a few days. Food prices seem to have risen a bit, but beverages are unchanged from last spring and the exchange rate is slightly more favourable at about £1=21.6EGP.
Habou Gardens is extending the roof over the patio. They have put up a metal framework and painted it blue. At the moment it has some wooden trellis panels as a covering.
The police have a nice new shelter to protect them from the overhead sun.
One of the advantages of updating my camera in the summer is that the new one has a lead with a thread to take accessories. So I have a couple of hoods and filters. Initial results are good but there is a very steep learning curve.
