The adventure begins

So here I am again, back in Egypt, but this time with no intention of leaving, at least not for the forseeable future.  I arrived this evening, at a very busy Cairo airport, every time I have been here previously the place has been empty, but tonight, 5 planes filled with around 2000 people all descended on the country simultaneously, so the queues at immigration were lengthy, and slow, and having landed at just after 9pm, it was after 11 by the time I made my way into the arrivals hall.  On previous occasions I have been inundated with a plethora of taxi drivers all eager to take me to my final destination, but perhaps the majority of the 2000 or so people who all managed to get through immigration before me had drained that resource, as the place is deserted, beyond those managing their stations, car rental agents, hotel reps, etc.

So I sit here and await my friends coming to collect me, who have been caught up in the inevitable Cairo traffic, well, where else am I going to go :)

Tomorrow is another day, so is the surety of the knowledge that when I awake, the sun will be shining, and I will finally feel sunlight on my face, for what seems like the first time in 2012, let the adventure begin!
