Backpacking Through Africa 4 – Cairo

 I met Mike in the afternoon as he rushed toward customs. He was also headed to Nairobi but decided to make the most of the eleven-hour layover. He’d pay over ten dollars for a one-day visa, but he thought it was worth it. He had the address of an Egyptian student he’d met in the Netherlands, who had promised to show him around the city by car.

By evening, he wasn’t so sure it had been the best decision.
