20/10 : Settling in

After a terrible night full of nightmares about cockroaches, i awoke and had another poor breakfast. After breakfast, i went back to sleep. I know, a bit silly, but i was so tired. At 11 am we chacked out of the hotel and took a taxi to Mesahha square to meet Sanaa. With yet another taxi (don't worry, taxis are very cheap here, like 1 euro per person for a 20 minute drive) Sanaa, Quentin and i went to our appartment. The taxi was very shabby : Quentin's trunk was on the roof, tied up with only one little string, so we were constantly afraid that the trunk would fall down. Especially becaus
e the driver was rather wild. The cars here in Cairo drive strangely : on a road made for 2 cars, they are driving with 3 or 4 cars next to each other. Anyway, we signed the contract in the appartment, paid the rent, unpacked our trunks. Our appartment is very kitchy : old sofa's, an old television, old curtains, and Quentin's bedroom is some sort of egyptian palace. The bell on our door sounds like two birds singing.
After this we passed at the NVIC to collect our archaeological passes. Ilona Regulski wasn't there, but another woman gave us everything we needed.
Then we went to a supermarket to buy some necessary things, only for 100 pounds, which is less than 6 euros per person.
Back at home, home sweet home, we started scrubbing the kitchen. The former owners clearly weren't the tidiest people in Cairo.
Then we came to an internetcafe, where it took us half an hour to find out how egyptian internet worked. We also bought an egyptian sim card. If you want to call us, please do this on the egyptian number :

In the evening we cooked and read and talked, until we were too tired to stay awake. End of the day!
