11-29 (Thursday) Siwa to Alexandria

We left Siwa this morning and drove 7 1/2 hours to Alexandria arriving at 3 p.m. We went straight to the library which was almost more like a museum. The whole place was fantastic. We spent and hour and a half there.

We finally arrived at the Plaza Hotel exhausted. They had turned off the A/C for the winter so the rooms were hot. Fortunately we had a door that opened to the outside. In Siwa we were too cold now we're too hot!

We all went out to eat at a fish restaurant tonight. It was one of those places where you choose your own fish and they cook it up for you.
