Whilst young T got to go "Safari N Surf" (sounds like a meal combo I had once) young J and his class mates got to go to Alex just up the road. Alexandria is the second city in Egypt, on the coast, about 4 hours of white-knuckle driving away. The school go there as part of the Roman and Greek inquiry they are doing, so they visited well preserved sites around the city. They also visited the famous Library which even J, who is not known for his love of books, found very impressive. The best part of the trip was not the 1st Century city or the light house or the Greco-roman catacombs but the pool at the hotel - ahh! Education. Here are some photos from the trip, not bad for a young un'........
The Med fishermen in Alex, and the citadel
