Today we headed for the Citadel. It was a bit of a drive, to the other side of the city (Near the mall actually). At the gates Yasser again got carded and had to have a long chat with the officer. We got questioned as to how we know him and whether he is actually a friend or a tour guide. Finally, they let us in.

From the height of the Citadel there is a great view of the city. We went into the Mosque of Mohammed Ali (the real one, not the boxer), the police museum, the military museum, and the Mosque of Nasr Mohammed. Julie and I had to wear capes/gowns to go into the Mosque because we were showing bare skin, and we all had to take our shoes off.

After the Citadel we went to Azhar Park and spent a few hours there. Mohab came by for an hour or so to say "hi". We went for a walk away from the others to let them have some time alone and to have a bit of a chat about us trying to explain how things just couldn't happen between us.

It was a very outdoorsy day. We came home and ordered in and sat and relaxed, crashing early. Mohab called and asked if I wanted to go for a walk, but it was already 11:30, so I said no, but agreed to go for breakfast with him the next day. LOL he just doesn't know the meaning of the word 'no', it would be a lot easier to brush him off if he wasn't so sweet and if I didn't like him too.
