So tonight is our last night in Alexandria and I must be honest I've totally fallen in love with this Mediterran Delight. The landscape is beautiful right alone the ocean front, the people are super nice and friendly. It's taken me a couple of days to settle in but now I don't want to go, but alas more adventures await me. Today I got my nerd on and we went to visit the Biblotheca Alexandria - The Modern Day version of the Great Library of Alexandria, oh what I would have given to see that origianl library in its glory day, I would have had a total field day, but this modern day version was almost as good and so BIG. It is heads above anything we have back home. Also today while we were waiting for the library to open we decided to have breakfast at a cafe (Best coffee ever) near by and met some lovely Australians George and Jen, they are an older couple (retires) and George actually is egyptian by birth so for the next 2 hours we proceeded to chat to them and get the low down on this beautiful place called Alexandria. We went to the library together and there we parted tracks I did however get some contact information for the couple and we invited them up to visit us one day. Following the library we went to the Qaitbay Citadel, this amazing fort built by Napoleon was trult breath taking and beyond beautiful. The views you get from some of the rooms within this fort just take your breathe away. I can understand why this place has been conquered and ruled by some many countries, it's totally amazing and in all honesty words can't come close to explaining just how beautiful it is, if I could I'd love to stay longer but I can't, I must face reality and move on. But prehaps one day I'll be back in this beautiful place along the Mediterrean ocean being swept away within it all.
Peace Out Mandy
