Best laid plans

After the previous days adventure we thought we needed to make sure everything was OK to get to the airport so...
Alarm set - check
bags packed - check
map of how to get to airport - check
confirm directions with local - check
plenty of time even with some traffic - check
hop in to car and go................go???............GO???????

Turns out the bloody car bettery is flat. What number do I ring? - Shit - bloody mobile phone has run out of credit! What time is it? What do we do - SHIT SHIT! Still need to fight our way through peak hour traffic. tripple shit.

After taking several valium I found a public phone, found a number and after spending 10 minutes spelling the street address I hang up hoping that I have not sent them to Italy! Amazingly 10 minutes later a little motor bike arrives and we are on our way just in time to get our plane to Cairo.

NO - I will not be hiring a car in Egypt
