Today we bid farewell to the Nile and the crew of the h\/s Nebu<\/i>, as we moved on to the city founded by Alexander the Great, Egypt\u2019s port with a decidedly Mediterranean feel – though it was their coldest day of the winter when we arrived. After a flight to Cairo, lunch at a restaurant an hour out of Cairo and a bus ride through the countryside to Alexandria, we arrived at our boutique hotel overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. After checking into our sumptuous shorefront hotel (the Four Seasons Hotel Alexandria), we discovered a beautiful spacious room with a sitting and desk area, sleeping area, luxurious bathroom with tub and separate shower, and a balcony overlooking the heated pool and the Med. We met a few of our travel buddies in the bar\/lounge, sipped some Egyptian rose (dry, good, cheapest wine on the bar menu and two for one during Happy Hour), and enjoyed a snack of calamari and shrimp for dinner[print_gllr id=7587]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
