Old Sharm market

Back to the mayhem of this crazy place. By day it's a curiously filthy, but sleepy place - at night it goes bonkers!

I arrived with the 20 or so mozzie bites on my legs driving me mad with the itching. Popped into a pharmacy, and the bloke mixed me up a concoction of four creams and ointments. It seems to be having some effect, at least the fiery red colour is abating.

Things I learned today:
Cairo has a population of 28 million
There's a tunnel under the Suez canal
Russian tourists just love cheap bling
There's been no rainfall here for 4 years - but guess what? There's some forecast...
Blame the Scots for taking the weather with them!
