I will never complain about Rotorua traffic again!!!!!!





Here we are viewing the Cairo traffic from the safety of our bus. One needs to appreciate that Cairo is a city of 18 million people that increases to 20 million each working day as an extra 2 million people commute into the city for work. Blended with this traffic is the life of some workers which hasn't changed over 500 years. There are no lines on the roads in Cairo and many are three or four lanes wide. The final shot is taken at an intersection we are about to pass through. An extra challenge for you if you wish to drive in Cairo: At night when the street lights are on they drive only with their park lights shining so they can flash cars if they are geting too close. You better believe it!!!!!
