Cairo - Chapter Four

The Le Meridien Pyramids has a pretty good wifi, the trouble is, it is only available from a few places in the hotel.  One wifi location is the lobby and the other is the business center. If you use the business center it costs $5 for a half hour. So I opted to sit in the lobby and chat online.  I am using my headphones/microphone to chat with Carol, so if you did not know better, you might think that I was taking an online traffic controller course. The strange thing that happens every time I set up my system in the lobby is that I am invaded by tour groups. Not just any tour group, but Japanese tour groups. Each day I setup my system and before I know it, 12 to 20 Japanese tourists gather around me to wait for instructions to register at the hotel. It is like my Macbook has a magnet in it.  They are very polite and don’t make any noise while I am online, but it is strange that two days in a row I would have this sort of thing happen.
A little bit about the hotel room itself. Very nicely appointed room, lots of dark wood trim and the Le Meridien has “heavenly beds” like the Westin chain. I did not have any problems sleeping on these beds. The bathroom was huge and the shower was fabulous. It had a Kohler rain shower heads in the ceiling. I think I might have to get one of those if I ever get around to remodeling our Indy bathroom.
