We flew to meet our cruise ship but for some reason we had to take a train back to cairo. A 16 hour sleeper train. I was kind of looking forward to the train, see the country side - something new. But no no. This train was foul. It was stifling hot when we first got on the train, we were already so sweaty from walking around all day that it was hell. It was so bumpy and rough we were being thrown around all the time.
The bathrooms. Something I will never forget. I walked in, its small and dirty and smells awful. The toilet paper holder is completely rusted and the toilet is dirty and gross and I'm being tossed around as I'm trying to squat and not touch anything. Then I flush. The bottom of the toilet just falls open to the tracks to let whatever is in toilet onto the ground. Raw sewage right there on the train tracks...
A couple of us went into the restaurant car to play cards and try to pass the time. It was so smokey in there it was like one big ash cloud. Two guys in my tour taught me how to play poker. We needed chips or something so I just start pulling out all my random coins I've acquired. So I finally learned how to play poker on a smoked filled train in the middle of egypt with tampa bay bucs cards and five different currencies.
