Mark and I made it to Alexandria and visited the ruins of the Great Lighthouse. We then went on to Cairo by camel. At Cairo we visited the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx. Mark sketched a colorful picture of the Great Pyramids since he found it so beautiful. He could not believe that people from so long ago were able to build such a large creation. We also visited some more Greek traders in the city who gave us some tips on how we should go about traveling on the Sea Roads. We then departed to Port Sokhna where we would be catching our first ship on our journeys through the Indian Ocean. On the way, Mark was practicing his swordplay and his sword sliced into my hand when I was walking past him. I can not write as well and I hope that Mark can soon succeed me as our travel scribe... He has alot to learn though.
