Turmoil? What turmoil?

Forgot to watch the news when we got up this morning so we were a little surprised to see 8 armed trucks, with 2 tanks on each one, rumble past our hotel this afternoon. Pretty daunting! Apparently they were on their way to disperse the sit in at Nahda Square which is about 11km from where we are. If you have "google earth" you can find our hotel (Le Meridien Pyramid, Giza) then look for the places they are mentioning on the news so you can see how far we are from the action. I have to say though that the media exaggerate the amount of unrest. Cairo is such a huge place it makes Auckland look like Tirau.
They have enforced a curfew which started at 7pm tonight and the streets are desolate. Usually the streets are humming with crazy drivers who don't know how to drive within lanes. I will take a photo tomorrow of the street outside our hotel which doesn't have any lanes painted on it but it would be about 6 lanes wide and the cars all go one way along it. I know I won't be driving here.
We have booked a hotel guide to take us to the pyramids tomorrow - should be fun. I'll take lots of photos for Room 25.
