We stared our trip early this morning from Landvetter Airport in Gothenburg, Sweden. We arrived to Landvetter the night before and stayed until today at the Landvetter Airport hotel. Our alarm clocks woke us up at 4.30 am this morning after 4 hours of sleep. After a pleasent flight we arrived at Cairo airport where we were received with flowers by the wonderful Rotarian Fadwa El Semman. The welcome we got was more than we could ever expect, and if we were a bit tired before the people receiving us gave us new energy.
From the airport we went straight to the Le Meridien Heliopolis Hotel for our first Rotary meeting and presentation. During the evening we made our presentations about ourselves, our district and Sweden. We enjoyed local soft drinks (made from Hibiscus flower) , "High tea" (a mix of local wonderful dishes) and met the Rotarians, the Rotaractors and members of the Innerweel from the Rotary club Nasr City.
A very long and interesting day has come to an end. Here we are, Hanna and Evelina, well installed in the lovely house of Manal Amin. We just enjoyed a tasteful dinner, together with Manal and her daughter Maii, who´s leaving for Mekka tomorrow. We wish her all the best and a pleasant journey!
We are so happy to be here, the welcoming was great and we look forward to wake up to new adventures tomorrow!
Insha'Allah!
