An afternoon at Al Azhar


After the whole "ant incident" i got a call from Bronwyn and she invited us to go and have lunch in the park - Al Azhar (finally i managed to spell that properly).

We drove there, paid 5 LE entrance and the funny thing right at the entrance: a note saying what you can or cannot bring to the park; among the things you cannot bring one got my attention: "alchoholics" - they should've left me at home!!! LOL (i did get a bit dizzy two nights before after having some lemonade with vodka).

We had lunch at one of the places there - the service was kind of bad, we had to wait a lot for our food and drinks to come, but it was nice to just chill there.

You can get a nice view of the Citadel from up there.

There is also some sort of a fountain that reminds me of one of the Romanian sea resorts - Mamaia.

We chilled on the grass, tried to get ice-cream, but the man said it will come in two minutes (two min in Egyptian time means more than an hour, or it could even be days), so we just left.

We got ice-cream on the way home, from Road 9 and came home to have coffee as well.

It was a nice afternoon, and luckily when i got back i was in the mood for planning, so i did some work too!!
