Alexandria - Egypt

Today, after our late dash up the Suez Canal, some of the pictures show this, we arrived in Alexandria at midday. We really made up time with the Captain, Crew and Engine room all working.

We did a coach trip along the corniche, lots of traffic! We saw the old palace, Church of John the Baptist, the new Library (the old one is about 200 metres out at sea) and the Mameluke Castle built on the foundations of the old Lighthouse - Pharos - one of the seven wonders of the world.
