Last time it cost us 50LE each way. This time it cost us 4LE for the train, that's for both of us, and 10LE for the taxi to the train station and back. 1LE for someone to ride from New Lynn to Auckland City is incredible and the trains come through every 5 minutes. BUT there is a downside ... because they are so cheap ALL the locals use them and they get very very full. We were okay going into because it was early but on the way back my friend Debra and I jumped on the women's carriage and Tony took the mixed one because they were chocka block - even in the women's carriage where no men are allowed we were crammed in like sardines. Funny though because this didn't stop the hawkers from coming on board and selling their wares (makeup, wipes, belts today).
Zamalek was a 20 minute walk from the Nasser Station and on the way we had few obstacles.

| We found a modern day Noah's Ark. The building at the back had no lower floors. |

| When walking past a busy butcher you might see carcasses hanging outside. |

| And this is what we went to Zamalek for - our new bedspread from Uzbekistan. |
